Obviously you could have a separate cron job to check mismatch_cnt but I think it's handy to have the check and the report self-contained--if your cron is properly configured you'll get email on any mismatches. It also has a config file where you can choose to ignore some arrays, run a check on others, and run a repair on others. (Presumably other distros may have something similar.) --keith -- kkeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
