Fair enough, being a bad user is no excuse.  This got my alarm reporting, but
what is with the error?

    (19)ryanc@rigel ~ $ sudo bioctl -a get arc0
    alarm is currently enabled
    (20)ryanc@rigel ~ $ sudo bioctl -v arc0
    Volume  Status               Size Device  
     arc0 0 Online       249999917056 sd0     RAID1
    bioctl: BIOCDISK: Input/output error
    (21)ryanc@rigel ~ $

Same behavior if I run it as root directly rather than via sudo.

thanks.
