I did rebuild the RAID with the BIOS and everything is *OK* now! It is out of the topic, but can you tell me which method is the preferable: to rebuild with the BIOS or with the software tool; The BIOS rebuild takes more than a hour. If I use the tool - is it necessary to boot into SU mode or I can run it in working environment (about 30 users)? (without interrupting the work process)?
