Didn't see anything in the archives. Is there some "trivial" means ("cat /proc/mdstat" or its equivalent in mdadm) of monitoring the health of a raid constructed via IBM ServeRAID? The RAID appears to linux as a opaque, very large scsi device. "cat /proc/scsi/ips/1" only shows me uninteresting info.. firmware level, etc. Everything is working fine right now, but I have a bad feeling that a drive could die & I won't even know it. I've seen reference to some sort of RAS / device driver hardening on the IBM OSS website, but no details.. just patch files. Thanks in advance, Michael Stumpf - 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
