"hot-swapping" on artix 02 January 2022, 04:12:39 This is a small question I have after I accidentally unplugged my SSD which had all my partitions on it while my system was running. I had to boot from a live CD, chroot, and reinnstall grub because the bootloader was gone and I would constantly boot into BIOS.Is this damaging to my system at all? Why does "hot-swapping" (not really hot-swapping) delete the bootloader?
