Missing issue in 16.4.3 of handbook

Dear FreeBSD friends,

I believe something is missing in chapter 16.4.3 (Rebuilding ATA RAID1
Arrays) of the handbook.

step 3 tells to reattach the disk as a spare.
the command to use is:

# atacontrol attach 3

But this is not enough to rebuild the array, e.g. the next step:

Rebuild the array:

# atacontrol rebuild ar0

In between `atacontrol attach 3` and `atacontrol rebuild ar0` there
should be the following command:

# atacontrol addspare ar0 ad6

Otherwise the rebuild command will do nothing!!!

Attach only reverses detach!! addspare completes the array and rebuild
makes a synchronize.

I hope some people can confirm this. I already found some confirmation
on the net: http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/archives/category/how-to/

Met vriendelijke groeten,
With kind regards,
Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
De jrus wah,

Willy
