this is what I was wondering about ... From looking at a number of different lines in
mdstat for different array types, etc, there doesn't necessarily need to be that
"[#/#]" section. (for instance, raid0 & lvm stats don't have it)
I ended up using the previously posted "diff" script (check to see that current mdstat
looks like previous "good" mdstat). Simple, but it works to let me know if something
changed.
thanks to all btw. 8)
