When the OS doesn't support hotplug it would be best to disable the button altogether. Otherwise handle in the frontend before (and instead) of sending the request to the backend (which will ultimately fail).

I'm for a simple label warning on the screen or something like that rather than block, maybe the admin knows better than us.
