Yes, but there is still the issue of whether the drive will be recognized at all when hotplugged. Once the drive is assigned a device name by the kernel you will be able to fdisk it. You don't need to mount it because the md device will be mounted, not the disk partitions.

I see where I'm going to have to try this some day soon. All our systems with hotswap bays are in service; I'll try the experiment on the next one.
