Hi,

Have been looking at FreeNAS (http://www.freenas.org/) and thinking
about the iSCSI portion of it. At the moment the box requires you to
shutdown when a disk fails in order to replace it. Is this a feature
of the GEOM RAID stuff? Is it possible (assuming suitable hardware) to
have hot-pluggable disks under the control of GEOM?
