I'm having problems configuring mdadm to send e-mail alerts. From past list discussions I configured it with: devo:/# cat /etc/mdadm.conf DEVICE /dev/hd*[0-9] /dev/sd*[0-9] ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=8e0114bb:e5b3a608:048bed2d:5fe33724 ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=434dd79d:0c046e9b:867e8d98:86bdb5da ARRAY /dev/md3 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=9a9a2078:44c22d83:25a32457:db7e3783 ARRAY /dev/md5 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=e3254469:34147651:c9298800:5a84cd06 ARRAY /dev/md6 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=80c78ac7:c0f4442a:3dd6517d:57edc79e MAILADDR jhill@hrpost.com PROGRAM /usr/local/sbin/raidalert ------ Then, I just have an init script that runs: /sbin/mdadm -Fs --delay=600 & I thought having that running would be right for monitoring and e-mailing, but I've tried a few variations without success. When one of the component devices fails and is booted out of the array, no alert is mailed. The raidalert script is one I picked up from past discussions on the list, and I wouldn't think it would be causing any problems: devo:/# cat /usr/local/sbin/raidalert #!/bin/bash # Log Raid Problems logger -p kern.crit -t RAID $* -------- I know this should be simple. I must be missing the obvious, but hours of tinkering and searching the list archives have gotten me nowhere.
