Did you try doing any I/O to the array? In my limited experience with software RAID, it won't notice a drive missing until it tries to do something with said drive.
Yes I did do this, I copied a file to the mountpoint and did a sync. Nothing.
Hm Googling around suggests that everyone with SATA raid may be experiencing the same lack of warning that their safety net just blew a hole through the server farm roof in a bid to reach escape velocity.
And *that's* why I use 3ware...
