I am usinge a Compaq 2500 with 5 18GB disks, on Debian 2.1, Kernel
2.2.12 (with raid patches). We pulled a hotswap disk out and kept
on using the disk system. A couple of error messages sputtered out
on the console and it kept on working. We inserted a new unformated
18GB disk and did the raidhotremove/raidhotadd thing and it looked like
it was rebuilding the raid. We rebooted the system and it came up
without the new disk. I ran fdisk to format the new disk and did the
raidhotadd thing and it is rebuilding the entire disk. It takes awile.
It is still running.

In practice, however, they are not."
