One way is to make devd grok devices arriving and leaving from /dev.
One could kludge it to send out geom events, but I think that's
insufficiently general since it reports too many things that aren't of
interest. Of course, you have no way of knowing what entries in /dev
really are, apart from pattern matching.
As to your second question, GEOM and/or da (it depends on who you ask)
need to react to certain events and re-taste the device. This isn't
done automatically, especially when da0 changes from a 32MB to a 64MB
part, for reasons I've never known.
