Think I got it working, just want to make sure I did this right. Using

right?
Yup. Looks fine.
Because we have two raids on one disk, the rebuild is throttled such
that only one rebuild is proceeding at a time.
md1 is rebuilding, as it says. Once that completes then all the status
stuff will look normal, and md0 will start rebuilding.
Don't know how long it will take, but because the raid doesn't know
what bits of the disk are used and what are not, the complete rebuild
will take however long it takes to read a 1gig drive from end to end,
and that is quite a long time ...

Actually, I still seem to have a problem.
After updates I decided to reboot, but it would never reboot until I
removed the new drive. I'm wondering if it has something to do with
needing to installl grub on the new drive?
Anyhow, now that I've pulled the new drive out and started the server,
the old drive is now sda. So does that mean I should issue the commands
to add the new drive back to the raid but as sdb?
