It intentionally doesn't deal with drives the kernel has marked as
removable. I had trouble with that with the main drives on a SAS
hotswap backplane in an earlier version but I think that is fixed now.
I'd recommend asking how to override this on the ReaR mail list.
While the code seems usable (and yes, I have succeeded in using it on
Centos 6x.), the documentation either doesn't exist yet or is very out
of date. But, the authors are very responsive and it would be good
to let them know about any bugs or usability problems. The mail list
is still at sourceforge although the code has been moved to github and
there is talk of moving the list elsewhere.
