I found the reason when I started mdadm without '--daemonize': It tries to use '/usr/lib/sendmail' whereas most recent distributions have sendmail (or it's replacement) in /usr/sbin. So just create a link from /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/lib/sendmail and it should work. > send only once and if it fails for some reason we never get notified? > I'd like to get notification about it! even in every minutes. or is > there any other way to check the state in every hour? Mdadm will sent only one mail per event. If you want to have a periodic notification I think you will have to write your own script that checks /proc/mdstat. Concerning your problem with hdc, it might be a bad cabling. Have you checked this?
