This field specifies the status of the raid subsystem. This is a composite of the view of the underlying subsystems. Status ok means things are ok. Status degraded means we are in a degraded state, possible because no spare is available. Status verifying means a verify pass is run, and a percent complete is available. Status reconstructing means we are reconstructing a drive and a percent complete is available. Status failed means we had a failure while we were up, possibly a drive failed and we have no spare. Status catastrophicLoss may not be visible to the user since the member may not be able to bootup. It means we need administrator intervention to correct the problem. Status mirroring means we are mirroring a bad drive onto a spare drive.
