5-2.9 Creating a "Hot" Spare Drive for Mirroring Arrays

For automatic rebuilds of a mirroring array, attach an extra "spare" drive to
the FaskTrak100-Lite. Drives that are not assigned to an array and are the
same size or larger than the original will be used for the automatic rebuild.
This is performed in the background under all supported operating systems,
except DOS. At a later time, the system can be turned off and the failed
drive can be physically removed.
