Hey,
 I'm working with a server that has a raid 0 setup on it. It's a dell
that supports a hot-swap scsi drive cage and I'm running tests on the
raid setup. I can't seem to figure out how to get a drive hot swapped
in. I've got the software-raid howto in front of me, but the thing is
that it starts by telling you to unmount your raid drive. This isn't
really an option since the whole system is one big raid. I'm trying to
figure out how to add the drive and resync the raid.
 Any thoughts?
