Hello,

I have problems rebuilding RAID1 array. The bios shows status 'Rebuild' and 'Volumes with "Rebuild" status will be rebuilt within the operating system'.
When I try to do 'atacontrol rebuild ar0':
atacontrol: ioctl(IOCATARAIDREBUILD): Device not configured

From the output below, assuming the system is running OK, the RAID doesn't need rebuilding. The BIOS is just confused about the state of the array, it will probably still boot from it OK.
Yes, it boots OK but the RAID need rebuilding. This status is result of disconnecting the second disk, booting, create some files and then reconnect the second disk. [etc]

OK. You need to follow the steps in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/ en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/raid.html section 18.4.3. Be careful to detach/reattach the right disk :-)

When the rebuild has finished you may find that the BIOS doesn't realize the array has been rebuilt, but that may not matter (much).
