  The mly driver logs to syslog.  I'm surprised you haven't done a
simulated drive failure (just remove a drive while the array is running).
I always do that with every server to make sure everything is working,
particular that the SAFTE enclosure reports that a drive has installed to
trigger the autorebuild.
