On the rare occasion I've needed to do so, since 5.1 days, the atacontrol rebuild stays at 0%, last I tried this was on 6.1-PREPRELEASE ~mid February. The first time I gave up waiting after 2 days, now I'm not prepared to be so patient and won't bother until I hear it has been fixed. Instead I boot from a liveCD, delete the raid, dd copy the "good" disk to the degraded disk(s), redefine the raid, reboot. That still takes some hours to complete depending on the size/speed of the disks, but that at least works to get the raid back up. Since hotswap isn't currently supported the requirement to boot into single user isn't a severe limitation, but the downtime should be unnecessary.
