When you have a box with 60 8TB drives, 8 RAID6 sets and 12 spares

Waiting 2-3 days for a rebuild to complete before giving out spares to
other failing sets seems excessive.

Anyone got any comments/opinions on this, or suggestions as to other 
ways of doing this?

We'd ultimately just like to have a pool of 12 spares that can go to any 
raid-set as drives fail.
