Package: mdadm As I see the redundancy of arrays is checked monthly (if the machine happens to run in the early morning of the first sunday of the month).
This seems to happen as a background (kernel) process which only logs to syslog. The checkarray command run by the cron job does not give any feedback whether all disks were in sync or if some errors were found. This means the disks could start getting bad, the checks may correct things, but it may go unnoticed until a disk fails completely. If "checkarray" would wait for the array checks to finish or fail, cron could send checkarray's error/success output (possibly just greped from the syslog) in an email to the admin. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
