Both Linux installs experienced the same problem. I started researching firmware revisions on the Smart Array 5i card. The card I have has 2.56 firmware installed. All my previous servers have an older revision of this firmware. I installed 2.38 firmware on the array controller. I tried the disk swapping with Red Hat and encountered no problems. I then re-installed FreeBSD 5.2 on the server and performed the same test. I have hot swapped a raid 1 disk three times now without any problems whatsoever. I'm going to contact HP to see what they might know about this problem. The 2.56 firmware was release in Nov., 2003, so it is pretty new. Thanks to all for listening to my sad tale.
