Re: How does gmirror know of a faulty drive
No answers? I just actually replied to a thread about this. Apparently there is no automatic demotion of a device to DEGRADED. I just had a provider error for a good 5 minutes of SCSI kernel messages (bad sectors, grown defects), without any automatic corrective action taken by gmirror(4) My original message was held of moderation. ~BAS On Wed, 27 Jul 2005, Ivan Carey wrote: In FreeBSD 5.3 I have set up 2 drives in RAID-1 format.

I just had a provider error for a good 5 minutes of SCSI kernel messages (bad sectors, grown defects), without any automatic corrective action taken by gmirror(4) In my experience gmirror will automatically detach any consumer that has a hard read or write error. (I haven't had occasion to use gmirror with SCSI devices yet though, so this could just be limited to ATA.) Re: e-mail notification, you can get a daily report if you set 'daily_status_gmirror_enable=YES' in /etc/periodic.conf. If you'd like more frequent checks it wouldn't be hard to put a script together to run gmirror status every N minutes from cron, parse the output and forward it to you if it said anything but COMPLETE for each provider.

How does gmirror know of a faulty drive
In FreeBSD 5.3 I have set up 2 drives in RAID-1 format. How will I know if one of the drives is faulty such as either not working or has some lost sectors? Is it possible to have gmirror email me if there is a problem?
