I'm running 4.1-STABLE. I don't recall what I did, but when I tested my RAID-5 vinum set up, it continued to function. When I did this, I don't think that I pulled the power cable while a write was occuring, though. Also, after plugging the offending drive back into its power supply, I had to login as root and use the vinum command line tool in order to make the array realize that its drive was back. Then it conducted the rebuilding of that drive. However, I was able to cat a text file and echo >> to that file while the drive was unplugged.
