thanks jgt I'll just grin and bare it and rebuild after hours from the BIOS

SCO UNIX 5.0.7, IBM x-series 235 w/ LSI controller. I can't for the life of me find any documentation for an OS level application, or an entry in scoadmin to rebuild the array or even find logs...

soft errors : 0
hard errors: 2
underruns: 5
