Hello,

If i turn off and remove an unit from the scsi chain when linux is up,
what may happen ? 
Of course, i am not talking about the main HD unit (i guess that would
provide me a nice kernel panic), but about for instance an external
CDrom drive. 

As i am not really familiar with scsi, i would first like to know if it
may cause any damages to the other units. (Sorry if a bit off-topic).  
And how will the kernel react (considering that unit is not mounted) when
it notices the missing unit ??

Thanks a lot for any idea you might provide me,

andre
