      This means that resilvers expected to fail when we look at the math model that only gives has an average (mean) failure rate we get successful resilver after success resilver. This also means that array expansion operations (replacing one drive at a time with a larger drive) would also be far more likely to be successful than expected based solely on the math averages.

      And that's how my boss got away with it heheh (well so far)

      If you combine the drive failure rate calculator for RAID 0 with the URE Risk of the RAID 5 calculator you can actually get some decent idea of total risk.
