You will find this a lot nicer if you have the backplane connected to a RAID controller, particularly a Mylex controller supported by "mlxcontrol". Hot swap support isn't really a factor since hot-swap support is only useful in a RAID configuration, and the software RAID module, vinum doesn't support hot-swapping drives.
