I run smart tests weekly in a staggered fashion during off hours on my
3ware arrays. Like this:
/dev/twa0 -d 3ware,0 -H -l selftest -l error -o on -S on -s
(O/../../1/18|S/../../2/22|L/../../3/01) -m root
/dev/twa0 -d 3ware,1 -H -l selftest -l error -o on -S on -s
(O/../../2/18|S/../../3/22|L/../../4/01) -m root
I've found that the smart monitors are pretty good about giving me at
least some warning about imminent drive failures when I do this.
