Hi all,

I have a RAID6 array and I wondering about care and feeding instructions :-)

Here is what I currently do:
   - daily incremental and weekly full backups to a separate machine
   - run smartd tests (short once a day, long once a week)
   - check the raid for bad blocks every week

What else can I do make sure the array keeps humming?  Thanks in advance!

What about bitmaps? Nobody has mentioned them. It is my understanding that you just turn them on with "mdadm /dev/mdX -b internal". Any caveats for this?
