Hrm, personally I'd be *very* careful when mucking w/ your config in
a hardware raid controller at all. I'd suggest you back up *all* your data
before doing anything, and give yourself a fair bit of time in case something
goes wrong. I have no idea how the Mylex handles these things, but I've
found it's pretty easy to wipe the config on a MegaRAID if you're not careful,
and I didn't spot an easy way to fix it, luckily I had backups. :)
