So if I have a drive fail, say in a RAID 5 configuration, I don't have to
detach it at all? Just swap them out and vinum will automatically begin
rebuilding the array? Also, what would you say the minimum processor
requirement would be? I know RAID 5 is quite taxing compared to mirroring or
plain striping.
