If you do everything in the right order, you can replace a failed hot-swap scsi drive and rebuild the software raid without shutting the machine down.

Again, SCSI cards must have some added notification, or at least the ones you are using. I guess that would make sense, because there _is_ the "host adapter" on-board.

Or at least the typical hardware/driver errors aren't fatal.

In any case, 3Ware cards do _not_ do it for JBOD.

I'm sure you are right about the behavior but it still seems surprising that the driver for what appears to be hot-swap devices actually isn't.
