[cisco-voip] replacing disks under new linux O/S

[Justin Steinberg]

in CM 6.1.2 the 'show hardware' cli command will show a failed drive and
will also show the progress during rebuilding.  As a status indicator, it is
as useful to me as the HP Windows GUI utilities.  I haven't tried this with
CM7 but from Jason's email it looks to show the same stuff.
