What tools do you guys use to automate your array management? I mean, I'd quite like to be able to pre-configure that certain drive slots should have drives re-added or re-built automatically when I hot plug drives, then have it Just Happen. Even better if I could do something like Infrant/Netgear's ReadyNAS X-RAID, which just does the Right Thing as you add drives. 1 drive, no redundancy. Add a second, RAID-1. Add a third, convert to RAID-5. Add a fourth, grow the RAID-5. (Actually it's easier than that, just start with a 2-drive RAID-5 with one drive missing.) Now, Infrant/Netgear will have rolled their own, but is there a package which would help me automate this sort of thing?
