Interesting.  Already tried a rescan by itself.

This is an old 7500-4, so I don't think there are any recent BIOS updates for 
it?  I flashed it to the latest back in '05...  Looks like there is an update 
from 1207.

0	7500-4LP	B13002A3171713	FE7X 1.05.00.068

(after remembering how to get into the  3dm2 Web interface.)

7.7.1-Upgrade.zip 	191 KB	Firmware 	d2cd2dc414cf01b3fcccc8343ed52fda	
1.05.00.068	Dec-07

I seem to have the latest, though.  Ugh.

Ah, here we go:

Status  	DEGRADED
Type  	DISK
Port  	1

The Web interface seems to responsive for some reason.

Apparently I can remove the drive -- if I do so, can I then re-add it?  Maybe 
I'll verify the unit first?

 (0x0B:0x0048): Invalid verify operation for the given unit mode : Failed to 
start Verify on Unit 0

I guess not.

Not sure I want  to attempt a remove and readd...  (Generally works fine with 
mdadm, but that's a different ballgame.)
