Here is a simple script I found for monitoring changes to a RAID array. Checks every 15 minutes (user defined) and e-mails the root user if any change occurs. http://myezserver.com/docs/mitel/raid-monitor-howto.html Anyone with a RAID array on a test server want to give this a try? If I understand this correctly it should work with any array, either IDE,SCSI or H/W,S/W. For a 'real' test, perform the HowTo steps, then power down, disconnect a drive, power up and you should get a report e-mailed 15 minutes later. Next power down, reconnect the drive, power up, issue the correct 'raidhotadd /dev/mdX /dev/sdX' command to rebuild and every 15 minutes you should get a message showing the rebuild progress until /proc/mdstat returns to it's original state. Again, this is all if I understand this correctly. No RAID system to test myself at the moment.
