As would auto-replacement of bad drives by hot spares.
Usually the firmware of a raid card does that itself. If a drive is
flagged hotspare, the raid card should automatically start the rebuild
if a drive fails. You should never have to tell it to do that. If you
had to tell it then it hardly qualifies as a hot spare.
I was referring to the fact that softraid couldn't do that.
Hot-spare devices work just fine (see below).
What doesn't exists afaik are global hot spares. E.g. 7 disks, two 3
disk raid5 and one spare disk for whatever raid fails first. You would
have to script that yourself.
Ah. Bummer.

yourself.
