            I came across this advice in a December 2003 posting here, I'd be
    interested to know if it works for you.

    <snip stuff about creating RAID arrays with atacontrol>

    Rebuilding is a bit complex. You have to do a 'atacontrol detach
    "channelOfTheFailedDrive"'
    and 'atacontrol attach "channelOfTheFailedDrive"' then 'atacontrol rebuild
    ar0'
