Subject: SSA RAID5 arrays and hot spare additions

Question: If you have an existing RAID5 array on SSA disks withOUT any hot
spares (array is set to 'not' use hot spares, currently), can you go back
and configure the array to use a hot spare and add the hot spare (e.g.,
change 'no' to 'yes' on using hot spares and at the same time add an SSA
disk to the loop calling it a hot spare)?

Many thanks!
