Just in case I ever have a mirrored drive fail...

What IS the proper procedure for restoring operations?

And why isn't Netware smart enough to realize that if you have a drive full of 
data that used to be mirrored, and got unmirrored due to drive failure, and 
now has an empty drive mirrored to it, you probably intend to replace the 
failed drive with the one you just plugged in.
