Automatic rebuild will not work unless the backplane supports SAF-TE. When a drive is inserted, the intelligence module sends a message to the RAID controller. The SAF-TE unit will appear in SCSI probes, as it is attached to the SCSI bus. The Mylex card will hide the SAF-TE unit from FreeBSD, but Mylex's probe should show it.
