I agree.  I really think the idea of restarting the IOC with an adjusted 
database file would be *much* simpler to implement.

Maybe it would even be worth looking at running one IOC per removable device, 
then you just shut down the relevant IOC before taking it out.  I don't think 
a uTCA crate can contain more than a handful of cards, so one IOC per card 
should fit quite easily.
