So I need to do a full backup and make a backup that I can restore to a new drive. Then delete the RAID, and re-create the raid, then restore from the backup. Dang, I sure wanted to just get it to re-mirror itself.

Removing and re-adding the second/third drive should do that. Don't know if it would be referenced as "manually failing a drive" or similar (that is the term used in the software RAID docs I reference)
