We don't swap the hard drives. We leave the drives in the hard-drive enclosure and swap out the whole drive enclosure. We have two drive enclosures. I'm sorry for any confusion.
I power down the system for the swap every time. The whole /home directory is mapped to the enclosure. I don't think the system knows that anything has changed.
