Erm, mdadm emails me when a RAID array fails. I didn't have to write my own script, because that's something everybody running an array should want (more or less). If I had migrated from md to zfs, I'd have been bitten by that. A mismatch of expectations, I guess. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
