http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658701 Unfortunately mdadm doesn't necessarily email you about problems. Although in the case of RAID-1 a scrub seems to always report problems even when nothing is wrong so this is often an issue of a false alarm. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
