Ataraid Questions

Dear ataraid people,

I have some questions about Ataraid
(the non Promise Version):

The Promise binary driver supports
Autorebuild and Hotpluging on RAID1.
If a drive is mounted in a hotplugable
bay (not only the promise bays are working,
any other hotplugable bay works, except
fan, voltage and temperature monitoring !)
and I pluged it out and in once more, an
array rebuild starts immediately !

Now I want so switch to Ataraid for 
better future use...

Does the native Ataraid driver
(Kernel 2.4.19) supports also an
arrayrebuild if a disk is pluged in ?
If not, why ?

If yes, how I can start rebuilding 
an array without reboot ?

if there is a manually way to rebuild
an array, how ? (of course without the
bios based tool from promise)

Are the linux standard raidtools are
used and must I enable (linux-) 
Raidsupport in my kernelconfig ?

I checked it out (Kernel 2.4.29 with ataraid
enabled in Kernelconfig). I unpluged one
drive and after a few minutes I pluged the
same drive in once more, nothing else happens
than errors from kernel and the result was a
crashed e2fs. What's gone wrong ?

Best regards
Matthias Noll
