Hi

I wanna know ,the spare can auto replace bad HDD?

No. I don't think it does. I think the only real benefit of having a spare is so you can resilver the spare remotely.

hot spare is convenient funtion ,right?
Why the freenas don't have hot spare?

Because FreeBSD does not support that function yet.

...which, as I understand it, is because automated detection of a truly failed drive is trickier than it sounds.
