Hotswapping my CDROM

So a quick question, how do I get my system to recognise the cdrom after I hotswap it?   Save rebooting is there something I can do to get Arch to recognise it?

TIA

Its a standard cdrom drive that fits into the bay of a Fujitsu Lifebook. Its recognised on boot , but not if I hotswap

Find the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script.  That will do the detection.
