Wow! This is way cool! I just tested it on my HighPoint HPT374 ATA133=20
controller and lo and behold

ar0: 76333MB <ATA RAID0 array> [9731/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
  0 READY ad8: 38166MB <ST340016A> [77545/16/63] at ata4-master UDMA100
  1 READY ad10: 38166MB <ST340016A> [77545/16/63] at ata5-master UDMA100

ar0: 38166MB <ATA RAID1 array> [4865/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
  0 READY ad8: 38166MB <ST340016A> [77545/16/63] at ata4-master UDMA100
  1 READY ad10: 38166MB <ST340016A> [77545/16/63] at ata5-master UDMA100


One quick question, is there any to query the status of the array ? For a=20
RAID1 array, how will I know if it goes bad ?
