Formatting of LUN taking a *very* long time in RM6

Hello,

I have an A1000 that has a four disk RAID0 LUN. (mirrored in SW to another
A1000) One of the disks in that LUN died and a new disk was hot swapped
in. The recovery utility has been going for a bit over 3 hours already and
is in the "Formatting" state. The drives in the lun are 36gig drives. Is
this the normal amount of time it should take? The light on the front did
turn green again, and blinks along with the other drives in the LUN about
once every 10 seconds. The one thing I did notice is that the drive that
was swapped in, even though it was the exact same model number, is Sun
formatted, shows a different firmware revision, and because of that ends
of being about a meg smaller. I'm using VxVM to mirror so this size
different shouldn't really matter.

Thanks
