Anton, Actually, I have written just such a user-space service (sgraidmon) to monitor the SCSI bus, and it does implement SAF-TE, but not SES yet. See http://scsirastools.sourceforge.net/ for more info and downloads.

This could all be in userspace (using the SG ioctl). In fact I played with some code from Matt Jacob a while ago and hacked it about to do scsi-add-single+raidhotadd and raidhotremove+scsi-remove-single. Do your drive cases support SES?
