From: "Steven Hartland" To: , "Jonathan" Cc: Subject: Re: kern/157293: [mfi] mfiutil/mfi does not allow adding a previously configured drive to be added to a new array Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:59:52 +0100 I believe the cause of your issue is that the disks where marked as "foreign". This doesn't mean they are bad but the controller won't let you import, add etc as it thinks they are already a part of another array, so its just being safe. I've just finished off some updates to mfiutil which will both detect this and allow you to "fix" them.
