I'm currently working on a kernel-raid and xosview patch to enable it
displaying raid member disk status and rebuild/resync status.
I sent a mail to Ingo Molnar and the xosview Linux port author (hoping that
they are the right guys) and I'm still waiting for a replies.
The change to the kernel raid stuff is only a format change in /proc/mdstat
(because I found it quite hard to parse the current format).
The change to xosview involves a new form of "split" meter, combining a
bit meter and a field meter.
The changes to xosview are almost completed, I only need some infos about how
I find out how many md0,md1,...,mdX devices there are in the system (for
letting xosview display one meter for each array). I would put that into
/proc/mdstat, too.
Executing some user command should be possible, too ...
