it should just be: echo check >/sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action if you don't have a /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action file then your kernel is too old... or you don't have /sys mounted... (or you didn't replace X with the raid number :) iirc there were kernel versions which had the sync_action file but didn't yet support the "check" action (i think possibly even as recent as 2.6.17 had a small bug initiating one of the sync_actions but i forget which one). if you can upgrade to 2.6.18.x it should work. debian unstable (and i presume etch) will do this for all your arrays automatically once a month. -dean
Being able to run a 'check' is a good thing (tm) . But without a method to acquire statii & data back from the check , Seems rather bland . Is there a tool/file to poll/... where data & statii can be acquired ?
