hi! mdadm is startet in monitor mode at boot like this: mdadm --monitor --daemonise /dev/md0 /dev/md1 /dev/md2 /dev/md3 /dev/md4 (i tried mdadm --monitor --scan --daemonise as Måns Rullgård suggested in an other thread, same results) in my /etc/mdadm.conf i got "MAILADDR root@myhostname.tld" and mdadm tells me it is using that emailadress when starting in monitor mode. mdadm sends one or sometimes two emails when i manually fail a disk (mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --fail /dev/sda5), but it does not send email on the following events: no spare left hotadd/rebuild start rebuild finished i believe this would be pretty nice feature, at least on a 800GB array where rebuilding takes a large amount of time to complete ;) the ANNOUNCE-1.5.0 file in mdadm source directory says: - RebuildFinished event in monitor mode. in syslog i get messages from md that sda5 is removed and that there is no spare drive left to rebuild. but no email (is this expected to work?) there is some more stuff: sometimes mdadm tells me which drive failed and sometimes it won't. the md-device is always reported correctly. could somebody please shed some light on this, testmessages function properly for all arrays. if there is some more information needed i can provide that. thanks in advance regards christian - 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
