Thanks to Darius@#thatircchannel for his help. I think it may be because the corresponding failed drive was lost in the array configuration, say: # atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 status: DEGRADED Instead of: # atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: DEGRADED ^^^ I encoutered a very similar problem recently, and resolved it this way: http://www.thilelli.net/~jgabel/archives/2005/07/#e2005-07-06T15_39_56.txt So it not an error in the documentation, but maybe this one may be completed. -- -jpeg.
