Personally, I use this script from cron: http://shellscripts.org/project/hdtest 0 3 * * * root /root/sbin/hdtest.sh -l /var/log/smart_ata-ST3250624A_4ND33CLT.log /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250624A_4ND33CLT short 1 3 * * * root /root/sbin/hdtest.sh -l /var/log/smart_ata-ST3250624A_4ND33EJE.log /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250624A_4ND33EJE short 2 3 * * * root /root/sbin/hdtest.sh -l /var/log/smart_ata-ST3250624A_4ND33ELA.log /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250624A_4ND33ELA short I have made the experience that long tests slow down the raid to a point where the system becomes unusable. My mdadm.conf is like this: --- DEVICE partitions ARRAY /dev/md/0 level=raid1 num-devices=3 UUID=3559ffcf:14eb9889:3826d6c2:c13731d7 ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=649fc7cc:d4b52c31:240fce2c:c64686e7 ARRAY /dev/md/2 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=9a3bf634:58f39e44:27ba8087:d5189766 spares=1 ARRAY /dev/md/4 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=d4799be3:5b157884:e38718c2:c05ab840 spares=1 ARRAY /dev/md/5 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=ca4a6110:4533d8d5:0e2ed4e1:2f5805b2 spares=1 MAIL root@localhost --- Also, I run mdadm --monitor /dev/md/* --daemonise from an init script.
