I think I covered that. I simply did a physical disk replacement with power off. After powering the system back on, I tried to use 'dmraid -R <new device>' as an attempt to add the new device to the array.
But I'm new to ataraid; I don't really know that I'm using the correct procedure. I'm looking for someone on this list actually knows the typical and correct way to replace a disk in an ataraid array. I presume there is the simple step of physically replacing the bad disk with a good one, then some 'dmraid' commands. But can't seem to find the right 'dmraid' command(s).
Thanks for your response.
