Hi, Administrationg quite a few systems with HW raid controllers, I've come to really like a feature that seems to be missing from current SW raid: Scheduling a (weekly) complete media scan where all surfaces of all drives get read; in case of read errors a repair is tried: the content for the failed sector is reconstructed just as if the drive had completely failed and rewritten to the failed sector; if reading works afterwards, regard the repair as successfull and continue using the drive. Is there any way to do this with SW raid? I truly hate situations where some sectors on a drive fail silently and you don't notice until a 2nd drive dies and you find you can't recostruct your raid data becaus of silent "bitrot". Tnaks for any hints, Martin - 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
