I know on promise 202xx controllers I have never had a problem if a
drive died, it just flagged as dead in /proc/mdstat, and I scheduled
time soon after to replace the drive and rebuild the mirror. System
didn't mind what so ever. Not sure how onboard ide controllers deal
with it. The SATA ones I have dealt with seemed ok with drive failures
although I haven't had any real SATA fialures yet, only me pretending by
yanking the power to a drive.
