I don't have any /dev/ada* devices, so I assume I'm using the original
ata driver. I haven't done any kernel customization, and am running the
distribution's kernel (upgraded with the freebsd-update tool). Does the
older driver no longer detect drive insertion?

I'm running a 10 hot-swap SATA disk ZFS pool and recently upgraded

recognizing a new drive that is inserted. In freebsd 7.[0,2], I could
remove a drive and insert a new one and freebsd would recognize it,
spin it up, and create the device nodes. None of that is happening in
8.0, and the only way I've found to get it to recognize the disk is to
reboot the system.
I tried using atacontrol to force freebsd to reinit an ata channel,
but that didn't have any effect. Did something change in 8.0 that
prevents this auto-detection? Is there a way to re-enable it?
Are you using the original (7.x) ata(4) driver or the newer enhanced
SATA drivers like ahci(4) or siis(4)? If you're using the latter your
devices will be labeled /dev/ada* instead of /dev/ad*. If you are
indeed using the newer enhanced SATA drivers, you will need to use
camcontrol to reset and rescan the associated SATA channels.
