So, I am curious, can you pull a CF card from a 2821 while the router
is up and running?

We need to replace flaky flash with a new one, but I would rather not
have to talk a remote tech (low skillset) through a ROMMON TFTP
operation..

If not, we can do it the hard way....but I have heard rumors that it works...

If it does, what are the risks...

Works fine in my experience - not to say it won't crash the router, just
that I haven't seen it crash a router

I have seen it cause a router to crash when the router was configured for SRST MOH and it could no longer read the audio file from flash.... if i recall this may have been due to a bug also in earlier IOS versions. What I did to get around the issue the o
ne time I had to deal with an urgent issue and had to do this, was briefly unconfigure the SRST MOH and reboot the router so it wasn't accessing the flash all the time.
