Contributions will be welcomed with open arms.

Already in the works.... Once I figure it out for myself.

If there is procedural info somewhere, I can't find it and not for lack of trying! unfortunately RTFM doesn't work in this case... There isn't one yet!!  

I'm sure that docteam_at_lists.contribs.org would love some extra help to get it into shape.

See here for the actual work and testing:

Follow-up to the bug tracker please - either as bugs in the code or the doco. Thanks.

Nick, I recently was able to successfully rebuild a blank hdb drive with raid1 on SME7.0 pre4 in VM ware with 8gig drives. I selected manage disk redundancy in the server console. Then logged in as root and ran cat /proc/mdstat. It then showed progress in rebuilding hdb. Then I decided to test on real machine and ran into same problem you did. Only thing I can see that I did different is that my two hard drives are not exactly the same, about a 400MB difference in size. Are the two hard drives that you are using exactly the same?

Yes they're Identical, I don't think the Menu option to rebild RAID is supposed to work yet with non-identical disks anyway though...
