Just out of curiocity - what do you mean by "swappability" ?

For many years we're using linux software raid, we had no problems
with "swappability" of the component drives (in case of drive
failures and what not).  With non-hotswappable drives (old scsi
and ide ones), rebooting is needed for the system to recognize the
drives.  For modern sas/sata drives, i can replace a faulty drive
without anyone noticing...  Maybe you're referring to something
else?

Thanks.
