>Description:
raidctl -S doesn't display useful info during raidctl -i
>How-To-Repeat:
Start initializing the parity on a new RAID device.  Wait a few minutes.
Wonder how long it will take to finish.  Read the manpage and notice that
raidctl -S will tell you the status of a reconstruction.  Try raidctl -S.
Feel disappointed that it just tells you `100%'.

If raidctl -i displayed status info similar to the ftp progress indicator,
that would be even more cool.
