Hello Erik, No mdadm and mdmon do not use SMART to make decision about disk in raid array. I think that it is not a task for mdadm to do so. mdadm is a MD manager- it cares about making requesting action possible when the problem is you asking about it more predicting drive failure. mdadm will complete the action requested by other utility which may be projected to track and analyze SMARTs. mdadm reacts on "remove" event triggered by udev so it means that device must be removed by the device driver first. Another way is high error rate from device - in this case MD drives kicks out the drive itself. However it is rather sporadic and happens only on certain conditions like high workload. Hope it is helpful!
