Two of the drives are dead, you're not going to see anything from them

So this means I can't rely on smartctl to list physical disks,
which implies that,
for servers I didn't install,
I need to know their RAID setup in advance,
or at least the total number of disks,
then compare with the output of smartctl or cciss_vol_status.

and this is the output from cciss
[...]
in particular, it says physical drives: 3

That's 3 working physical drives. This array is both strange and shot. It looks 
like thre was a raid 1 with a single 1TB drive, then a raid 5 of 3 smaller 
drives and another 1TB drive. And another of the smaller drives in the raid 5 
is about to die.

Sorry, I was wrong.

Array 1 = 450G + 450G in raid 1
Array 2 = 1T + 1T + 1T in raid 5

The failing drives are 450G in Array 1
and 1T in array 2,
and there's probably another 1T drive that's about to die.


Best,
