What does --replace actually do?

When I request to replace sda with sdj (RAID6 in my case), does it create sdj from the
other members (NOT using sda) or does it make a copy of (by reading) sda?

I hope it is the former, assuming sda is having issues and the action is precautionary.

I see on stackexchange is mentioned that it actually does the latter:
	http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/74924/how-to-safely-replace-a-not-yet-failed-disk-in-a-linux-raid5-array

And while I am here, can I replace two members at the same time? This should save time
as it takes about 10 hours to reconstruct a 4TB member.

TIA
