For many years we're using linux software raid, we had no problems with "swappability" of the component drives (in case of drive failures and what not). With non-hotswappable drives (old scsi and ide ones), rebooting is needed for the system to recognize the drives. For modern sas/sata drives, i can replace a faulty drive without anyone noticing... Maybe you're referring to something else?
