Softare RAID


Hello.

I have a server running 2 x IDE hard drives. I have setup a Software mirror of the 2 drives. I was wondering what the best way to monitor this was?

Is there anyway I can have it alert if / when one of the Hard Drives fail?

Thanks alot.

Regards
Craig

/proc/mdstat contains the status of the drive array, but perhaps you're looking for something more....errr....pretty?
Also, smartMonTools (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net) may be of help.

Hi Håkan,
