Degraded software RAID5 array without notice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Ik accidentally discovered that my software RAID5 array was degraded: one of the three disks had been kicked out of the array.

It appeared that disk /dev/sda1 had been disabled 5 days before! I was totally unaware of the problem, which is odd.

syslog shows the moment the array got into trouble:

What surprises me is the fact that the system didn't inform me (except for the syslog messages) that there was something seriously wrong, It should have done so by alarming popups in X, or whatever.

Probably I just misconfigured something, but maybe Fedora has no software installed (or available) to alarm the user about these serious events.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rolf
