I assume they're saying it won't work because the suggestion is to "pull one" HDD out.

With RAID 5, pulling 1/3 gives you only partial data, and pulling 2/3 removes too much so the system can't run.

Ok, that is assuming /boot is ON the raid which I wouldn't want to rate for probability

But even if it is, you could just pull one after the other and wait for the resilver before pulling the next one (you will hear if it resilvers automatically)
