Currently I don't have access to any Perc/5i equipped Dell machines with FreeBSD on them. I believe that there are some hotswapping issues with FreeBSD and Perc controllers (regardless whether or not ZFS is being used). As those days hot-swap was not crucial, I haven't even tested that.

I tried creating 6 RAID-0 arrays. The problem i've been having is if I eject a hot-swap drive, the RAID0 virtual disk disappears; it doesn't come back if I plug it in.. Or plug in a replacement to test "swapping in a replacement drive". The only way i've found to get the drive back requires a reboot, which is troublesome... Do you know of a way to make hot swap work like it should? (No rebooting the server) I’ve been trying ZFS on a Dell 2950 with a PERC/5i controller.
