Configured slot behavior

This feature is similar to persistent hot-spare slot behavior. If a fault-tolerant VD is configured to the system and a drive is replaced, the configured slot will automatically rebuild (copyback) on the inserted drive regardless of the data on the drive. This operation overwrites the data on the drive.
