Are you saying that you cannot replace a failed drive without
shutting down the system? If that is the case with FreeBSD then I
suggest that FreeBSD is not ready for production use. I know that
under Solaris you _can_ replace failed drives with no downtime to the
end users, we do it on a regular basis.
I suspect there is a method to replace a failed drive under
FreeBSD with no outage (assuming the drive is in a hot swap capable
enclosure), but as I am not familiar with FreeBSD I do not know what
it is.
