I don't have any mdadm.conf files ... What am I missing? (I've always been
under the impression that after needing the /etc/raidtab file with the old
raidtools, you didn't need a config file as such under mdadm... However,
I'm willing to be enlightened!)
For checking the smart stuff, I use the standard Debian packages and a
smartd.conf file typically looks like:
#DEVICESCAN
/dev/hda -d ata -o on -S on -a -m smart-mon@xxxxxxxxxx -s (S/../.././04|L/../../1/20) -M daily -M test
/dev/hdc -d ata -o on -S on -a -m smart-mon@xxxxxxxxxx -s (S/../.././04|L/../../1/20) -M daily
/dev/hde -d ata -o on -S on -a -m smart-mon@xxxxxxxxxx -s (S/../.././04|L/../../1/20) -M daily
/dev/hdi -d ata -o on -S on -a -m smart-mon@xxxxxxxxxx -s (S/../.././04|L/../../1/20) -M daily
The running mdadm in monitor mode looks like:
/sbin/mdadm -F -i /var/run/mdadm.pid -m root -f -s
and my weekly badblocks script looks like:
#!/bin/csh
echo "`uname -n`: Badblocks test starting at [`date`]"
foreach disk ( a c )
foreach partition ( 1 2 3 5 6 )
echo -n "hd$disk${partition}: "
badblocks -c 128 /dev/hd$disk$partition
end
echo ""
end
echo "`uname -n`: Badblocks test ending at [`date`]"
I do loads of stuff with disk temperatures (when I can), etc. but thats
just for making pretty graphs I can point at my customers... (eg
http://lion.drogon.net/mrtg/diskTemp.html and tell me when that data
centre upgraded their AC ;-)
