You should as far as I know at least get a kernel message if something
goes wrong with the RAID. My RAID controller reports the status of
the RAID in the kernel messages:

ld0 at icp0 unit 0: <PD_A000>, type: RAID-1, status: optimal <---

And if I remember correctly I got another kernel message when something
went wrong with it (the original firmware apperently had trouble with
disks >128GB).

        Kind regards
