Nothing more you can do while it is rebuilding, other than pray another drive doesn't fail. If you lose another drive during the rebuilding period, depending on your RAID#, the array is toast. That's no fun when that happens. I still have scars from the last time I had to deal with that. That client learned the hard way that you do need to look at your server periodically even though you can manage everything remotely, and even though your backups say they are successful, you may want to do some test restores.

What more can the user do while it is rebuilding. I could see even a light indicating an error but a beep while it is being resolved is annoying. Oh well I figured out how to make it silent and the drive has been rebuilt, so all is well again!

I find it odd that it doesn't stop beeping once a new drive is placed and a rebuild started.
