Okay, I'm trying this with an LSI 300-8X, 814B/H431 firmware, with an AMD64 4.0 snapshot from early Sept. Currently downloading the Oct 14th snap to try as well. I'm running into some rather worrying problems, some of which duplicate your results. Create a new RAID5 with 3 disks and one hot spare in the bios/web interface works fine. bioctl lists the drives properly. Failing a drive (by removing it) causes the array to degrade, but there is no automatic rebuild onto the hot spare. Replacing the failed drive starts a rebuild immediately, without using the hot spare. Rebooting causes the rebuild to start over. Now I'm feeling stupid, because I could have sworn that the controller would rebuild onto a hot spare before. -- Jon
