We have some old dell 1950 and 2950s with fbsd 6.x 9..x and a 10 machine. Th= e 6 and 9's when a drive fails i just walk up to it pull the drive caddy swa= p in a new drive to the caddy and add it back.=20 Drive starts a rebuild. These have old perc 5 controllers.=20 Only time i had to do any messing about was when a 500gb drive took over for= a failed 36 gb drive. Didnt realize the 500 was set for global hot spare.=20= Had to manually fail the drive and make it hot spare dedicated only for a r= aid 5 partition.=20 > On Jun 19, 2015, at 13:35, Chris Stankevitz <chrisstankevitz@gmail.com> wr= ote: >=20 > Hello, >=20 > My hardware, caddies, BIOS, OS, etc etc etc all support hot swapping > drives.
