No, it doesn't. We have two 9.1 gig drives (no hot spare). After pulling 
a drive out, the computer printed a bunch of "ida soft error". I put it
back in and a little green light started blinking on the front of the 
drive. At this point, I thought it was rebuilding, so I let it set for 
a long time (like 5 hours). After booting to the cd, it took maybe 5 or 
10 minutes with bright red lights flashing on both hard drives.

I dunno, maybe it only works if the drive actually fails?
