Hello all, I want to use mdadm to email me with all of the events, not just the Fail and FailSpare events. So I need to use --program. On another terminal, I fail, remove, and add one of the raid5 disks. I try using mdadm like this: # mdadm --follow --program /etc/handle-mdadm-events --delay 1 /dev/md0 where handle-mdadm-events is (culled from previous posts): echo $* logger -p kern.crit -t RAID $* but I never get anything at my terminal or in the log. If I don't use the --program, it gives me: linuxsc:/home/pcpao # mdadm --follow --delay 1 /dev/md0 Oct 3 09:47:52: FailSpare on /dev/md0 /dev/sdf anyone have any ideas? can I do --program "echo $*" ? just to get it to do something? linuxsc:/etc # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.18-64GB-SMP (root@SMP_X86.suse.de) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)) #1 SMP Wed Mar 27 13:58:12 UTC 2002 jeff b - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
