As you with good memories know, I lost 3000 pictures of my first sons first year this month. I did have a RAID-5 system with fresh disks, however, shit happens and I have a feeling that this could have been avoided if I read my log files better.
So basically, a) I get a mail each time my a cron-event fires, this happens every 30 min so the mailbox are quite loaded, not very funny going through. b) The file messages contained information that my raid-system was about to blow, I didn't see this because I never read that file. Also it appears to only log information after a reboot. The vinum history file seems to only hold information about the vinum setup, not the health of the volumes. Questions: a1) Is it possible to only get a mail with critical information, where and what do I need to do to achieve this? b1) Where will information about ongoing disk-problems appear? How can I see that there is a flaky disk in a non-rebooted system? In addition to the questions above, is there something else I need to tune/install/setup/configurare to get a very reliable system that report critical data to me but where non-critical data is filtered out? Thank in advance, my FreeBSD setup is getting more and more mature now, only thanks to this list.
