David,
How have you set things up to achieve this?
See the section on Monitor mode (-F option) in the mdadm man page. Debian's mdadm package, for example, sets it up so mdadm -F gets run automatically at boot time to monitor your arrays.
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my question...
I am aware of mdadms' monitor mode; in fact, I'm sure it used to run when I first started using mdadm (on Fedora Core 2 installed from rpm built myself from src rpm).
I seem to remember that this was disabled at some stage but can't remember the detail - possibly something to do with preventing the array from shutting down cleanly because mdadm -F was open on it.
I am hoping that someone can suggest how best to run mdadm -F on Fedora Core 2. Perhaps it could be as simple as creating a script in /etc/init.d/ which would terminate before the array is shutdown?
