Well, here's the latest.

I finally got everything that I need copied off the server and started the reformatting process on Disk 1. First I did the:

config devices format 10000 /reinit /nocore

This seemed to go through with no errors. The log didn't show anything unusual.

The instructions said to do a reboot command, so I did that, and when it came back up, it started the whole disk check thing over again. So I left it running that yesterday and came in today to try to add the spare back into the RAID.

Changed Disk 1 to a spare and let it try to incorporate it into the RAID. A couple of minutes later it was telling me that an unknown error had occured and the amber light was on for Disk 4. Did a restart and it's currently doing a disk check again. Based on the time it took last night, it'll probably be five hours before I can try again, unless something else fails during the disk check.
