Terry, I can only speak for a large SAN and yes removal of a single disk equates to a disk failure and the new disk insertion begins the rebuild BUT on a SAN we usually have extra redundancy built in by never using more than about 80% of total disk hence while the disk is being rebuilt the system does manage to cope.
I would be interested to know what you do and how it goes because each of our servers has a pair of internal disks in RAID 0 and an external SAN. So far no internal disks have failed - but as we all know that is almost surely going to happen ! cheers pwl -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlEqIjIACgkQnbH2cLovUvKfagCeMjgXH3TjYr2BTfIUUbkt8mPH DTAAoLMb7kaIDrwslo98DTApETEMZCcK =glZI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
