RAID1 is DEGRADED, but which disk is faulty?

[jesse reynolds]

Hmmm, doesn't look good:

# atacontrol rebuild ar0
atacontrol: ioctl(ATARAIDREBUILD): Operation not supported by device

any other ideas?

Note that I used the Promise chip's firmware to initially build the 
mirror, so I trust that this is a "RAID capable ATA controller" (from 
the rebuild section of the atacontrol man page)

Thanks

Jesse
