Vicky, It depends upon what you are trying to monitor, and how you are trying to monitor it. You have the following basic options: 1) /proc/mdstat 2) mdadm (from Neil Brown - should be many references to it on the mailing list archives) 3) ioctl (if you want to query from a C program) The ioctl interface is missing the ability to query raid rebuild status. If that is something which interests you, let me know as I created a small patch to add a new ioctl to query raid rebuild information.

If I should ask a different list or need to look through the archives first , could someone please point me in the right direction. > > Many Thanks! > ~Vicky > - > 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 -- Sean C.
