Here's the history:

I installed a Promise TX2000 IDE RAID along with 2 drives. Booted into =
the BIOS of the TX2000 and defined a RAID-1 array using both drives.

Then, due to circumstances, I had to take out the card and replace it =
with a plain IDE controller (Promise Ultra 100).

Now when I boot I see the following in dmesg:

=3D=3D=3Dsnip!=3D=3D=3D
atapci1: <Promise ATA100 controller> port =
0xef00-0xef3f,0xefa4-0xefa7,0xefa8-0xefaf,0xeff0-0xeff3,0xefe0-0xefe7 =
mem 0xffac0000-0xffadffff irq 11 at device 20.0 on pci0
=3D=3D=3Dsnip!=3D=3D=3D
ar0: 117301MB <ATA RAID1 array> [14953/255/63] status: DEGRADED =
subdisks:
 0 FREE  ad6: 117800MB <IC35L120AVV207-0> [239340/16/63] at ata3-master =
UDMA100
 1 READY ad4: 117800MB <IC35L120AVV207-0> [239340/16/63] at ata2-master =
UDMA100
=3D=3D=3Dsnip!=3D=3D=3D

So it looks like I have an array (ar0) even though I don't have the RAID =
controller any more!

`atacontrol list` gives the following:
ATA channel 0:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 1:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 2:
    Master:  ad4 <IC35L120AVV207-0/V24OA63A> ATA/ATAPI rev 6
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 3:
    Master:  ad6 <IC35L120AVV207-0/V24OA63A> ATA/ATAPI rev 6
    Slave:       no device present

So I tried `atacontrol detach 3`. Then rebooted. The dmesg about above =
is from after that boot. The array is still there, but degraded. I'd =
like to just get rid of it and have my two drives (ad4 and ad6) to use =
with vinum.

This machine is running 4.5-STABLE #1, any suggestions?
