+The [[Ultrabay]] has some glitches out of the box with respect to hotswapping.  It is possible to lock the machine when pulling out devices, even the CD/DVD device.
 The culprit is that the Ultrabay pre-eject switch is not hooked into anything useful.  It does cause udev events, but nothing is listening for them.  When a device that has a mounted partition or CD is actually pulled out it is too late to do the right thing.  linux will usually just complain, sometimes bitterly, but may also lock up for some unknown reason, even if just pulling out a CD/DVD device with a mounted CD.
