Hi Patrick,

My question must not be clear. I already have raid0 set as -A root raid0.

Here is a live example where I try to add wd1 as a hot spare. I seem to be
able to get any two disks to be the raid0 set, but I cannot get any disk
to become a persistent hot spare:
root 27 # raidctl -v -s raid0

Note that the spare does not persist across the reboot.

How can I fix this?
