Hi Bill,
Unless I am misunderstanding something, software RAID has this already.
I have not used it but reading from the mdadm man page in the "Monitor
Mode" section:
"As well as reporting events, mdadm may move a spare drive from one
array to another if they are in the same spare-group and if the
destination array has a failed drive but not spares."
Regards,
Richard
