What's the best way the community has found to do failover testing for a DNS-321 setup as RAID-1?
By failover, I mean, ejecting a drive (to simulate the loss of a drive), making sure the unit reports the failure (email & front panel indicator), then replacing the drive with a new drive and having it rebuild. Included in the instructions should be when to power the unit down and when to reboot, and during which periods are the disk shares available to the clients (in degraded mode).
The manual is a little spotty on this, and my first try at doing this successfully rebuilt the raid, but somehow the information as to which directories were available as mounts was lost.
Thank you in advance!

Not really answering your question, but you may have actually done the correct steps, however for the "information as to which directories were available as mounts was lost" part, I'm guessing you're hitting the known-since-Nov-2008 bug where that information is lost whenever powering down the device.
