I'd have to say that the 3ware tw_cli is the best raid controller interface I've used. The 3dm stuff is okay, but tw_cli puts you in control. If you're looking for a raid card to make management easy, the 3ware cards are definitely the ones to buy.
One neat trick I like to use to monitor a raid array rebuild is:
watch tw_cli info c0
That will give you the tw_cli output, updated every 2 seconds over top of itself..

Any ideas of tools that one can use to report errors etc for hardware RAID?
Although you have an Adaptec card, here's a script for 3ware cards in case anybody finds it useful. It's designed to run from crond so stderr gets sent to the script's user.
