RAID 5 fault tolerance

Hello!

I've got question about RAID 5 fault tolerance. Say, I've got
three HDDs in a RAID 5 array and I pull out one drive. Then I
put it back but during the rebuild of the first drive I pull
out another drive. After putting back the second drive, will
the array be capable of rebuilding all data or is the removal
of the second drive equal to its failure, i.e. there's no way
to restore all information.

Best regards,
Piotr.

The integrity must be restored completely to the array before a different
drive (a drive other than the one being rebuilt) can be removed. Otherwise,
the array is dead.

You seem to have described a failure scenario.
