I have been looking for a way of detecting whether disks used in RAID sets have had errors that might indicate the drive is failing.. I have noticed the files "/sys/block/mdX/md/rY/errors". They appear to contain a count value. What errors are reported in this file? Does this provide a way of detecting a dying disk? Are there any better ways to achieve this? Thanks Simon. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
