couple of seemingly dumb questions

[Maurice Hilarius <maurice@harddata.com>]

On software RAID/raidtools how does one change the rebuild priority on a 
replacement disk or resync?
I don't mind giving higher CPU priority, since in many cases the boxes I am 
using have lots more CPU than is being used most of the time.

Secondly:
With a software RAID5 setup, with disks in removable hot-swap trays, I want 
to be able to pull a failed disk and replace it and have it then rebuild. 
Problem is, when I pull the disk I get lots of error messages, and then 
when I replace it there is nothing happening to redetect that the disk is 
changed, and allow me to rebuild. If I reboot then the machine does resync 
with the new drive, but surely there must be a way without a reboot?

Thanks all for suggestions and info!
