You don't tell us what version you use, but promise is supported very well, 
even in atamkII in 6-current.
If you replace the failed drive it sould be automatically rebuilt, the 
`atacontrol rebuild ar0` doesn't work as long as you (in 5.x) used "addspare" 
or the controller found a good "spare" drive.
In 4.x you don't have the addspare option, you have to `atacontrol detach 3` 
and reattach it the same way to get recognized and inserted as spare in an 
existing array.
