IMHO, there are two important things missing from mfiutil.

1. Silence alarm - it is very stressful trying to do any work when the 
alarm is on.

2. Drive identify - convienient to check that the backplane is correctly 
configured, and that my idea of where the drives are is the same as the 
controllers

If it's possible to add these two to mfiutil it would be great.
