I haven't had such bad experience as the above, but it is certainly a concern. Using ZFS we simply 'offline' the device, pull, replace with a new one, glabel, and zfs replace. It seems to work fine as long as nothing is accessing the device you are replacing (otherwise you will get a kernel panic a few minutes down the line).
