hi,

how can one monitor the status of individual disks in a raid array
under freebsd?  i have a bunch of machines with dpt smartraid iv and
ami megaraid controllers.  they're expected to be production, 24/7
servers, so scheduled downtime is rare.  how can i tell if a disk has
failed so i can replace it?  userland programs?  or do i really have 
to drop into the raid bios (or boot to dos and use dptmgr)?  anything 
under development?

with disks often being the least reliable component these days, how do
other administrators handle this?
