I personally prefer to do a long self-test once a week, a month seems like a lot of time for something to go wrong.
- run nightly diffs of smartctl -a output on all your drives so you see when one of them reports problems in the smart self test or otherwise has a Current_Pending_Sectors or Realloc event... then launch a repair sync_action.
You can (and probably should) setup smartd to automatically send out email alerts as well. -Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
