Currently there are 5 harddisks which have been setup as RAID 5 and 1 harddisk acts as hot spare. Interestingly, is there any tool on FreeBSD which allows to rebuild the array on the fly or is it a must to reboot and goto Adaptec 2100s SMOR to rebuild? If latter is the only option it defects the purpose of HOT SWAP capabilities. Anyone using Adaptec 2100s on FreeBSD please share some informations on how do you manage the array. TIA! Regards, Edy --
