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.
Hm no, that's not what I meant, I guess I shouldn't have included that. Simply offlining the device (to make sure no attempts to access it are made) should be sufficient if you indeed assume a hotswap bay.
