If you add-single-device and it is a different size, I don't think that would
matter
since the device's size is important during an fdisk or a mount, both of which
come after. This works in the M.O. world, where you can unmount and eject a
128 meg cartridge and insert and mount a 230 meg cartridge and the whole
system is happy.

Hmm, I just read my controller's README...missed that.
Plot Complications: The Mac program I'm referring to didn't need to
know squat...and I didn't happened to look at the ID settings either
(it's on the unused bus of a dual controller).
Now, I know it's possible, since the latest RAID5 can perform a hot
reconstruction even when the drive devices reshuffle. I also wonder
how to use the above method when I remove a drive and replace it with
a different sized drive at the same ID.
TIA.
