hi,

it looks like your controller is a little confused - i'm not sure why.

this is why i try to avoid multiple containers on the same set of
physical drives :-/  unfortunately leads to additional complexity
when something goes wrong.

are you trying to do the rebuild at the bios level only ? or have you
also tried to do this using afacli ?

you could try using the afacli utility to possibly partition up the
replacement disk (i don't have a machine handy to try this on at
the moment) before you start it rebuilding.
