Of course it is hot swappable!

I've never tested this and I'm not sure, but I think the main advantage
of mirroring is that you could still IPL, whereas with RAID5, you'll
need to rebuild first. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Curious, with mirroring instead of RAID, was it still hot swappable, or
was downtime required?
