Why was the device removed completely?


Can I simply do this?  (want to be sure as this box is remote)

gmirror forget data

atacontrol attach ata0

gmirror insert data ad0

IDE devices generally aren't hot swappable, so you're going to have to
take
the box down to replace the failed drive (that's why it detached from the
bus).  Once you do that you can rebuild the gmirror.



I don't want to hot swap...I want to get the existing bad drive back into
the mirror and see how long it lasts before gmirror breaks again.

Can I use atacontrol to get the drive back in the system?

Thanks,
Andy

You can, only if the two drives are on different channels. If you have ad0 and ad1, you're probably out of luck.
