    Hello,

    I'm taking care of a computer now with a promise tx2 controller card and
    two 40G hard drives as a raid1 array. The machine is running
    4.10-PRERELEASE freebsd.

    I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are utilities to monitor the
    'health' of such a raid array? I'm also wondering if there are any
    recommendations for a relevant resource about managing the array.
    Something along the lines of the 'what to do in case of disaster'
    stuff that accompanies the vinum docs,

    thanks,

    Sean
