I did 'raidctl -a /dev/wd4e raid0' and 'raidctl -F component0 raid0'

and then 'shutdown -r now' and this time, my raid0 came up as healthy as
ever.  Don't know what was the problem - maybe I'm not allowed to 'reboot'
a system with raid?  (Is 'shutdown' safer?)

Now, maybe I should get some 80 GB Seagate Barracudas for a larger RAID..
