look for -U and -R and read the text carefully.
'works fine' means 'I was lucky' or 'I have rare hardware that truely supports
hot swapping', Because a lot of 'hot swap' removable hdd racks aren't really
hot swappable.

No hot-plug with IDE, it simply isn't supported. Maybe you need
/usr/sbin/partprobe (from parted)

Hot-plugging on IDE is only supported on RAID controllers that can do
hot-plugging. The IDE standard itself does not support it, and even if
it seems to work sometimes, there's a chance you can damage your IDE
controller.
To be safe, you should get an IDE-to-USB case. Then you can do
hot-plugging safely.
