Wouldn't it be at least slightly risky to pull all your spares plus one of your data drives for the duration of a rebuild?

The main point was that there is no way to tell the filer to build on a specific spare. And the only way, according to the NetApp class that I took, (without shutting down and shuffling drives), is to replace the failed drive, and remove all of the spares, including the one that the array rebuilt on. Without any spares in the system, the array will rebuild on the new drive.
