I have been doing this for years.
What problems are you seeing using smartd on a RAID1?

Reading the documentation for smartmontools I got the
impression that it cannot work with RAID controllers, apart
from 3ware and some Highpoint. Maybe I'm getting mixed up
with hardware raid?
So is it safe to use all features of smartmontools,
including running tests, on a Linux software RAID1 array?
Kind Regards
