From what I can see of the code, it would be very easy to test it by pointing it at a fake mdstat. I've got three arrays on a two disk mirror, so that's easy for me to test, but I'd like to test it on other setups. > > So if people wouldn't mind, could you email your mdstat files? Preferably on the list so people can see what has and has not been sent - obviously I'd like standard setups like raid10, raid5, raid6, both named and numbered. And if people have them, mdstats showing broken arrays, rebuilds, complicated setups with lvm, etc. > > Dunno about other people, but I have xosview running on my desktop all the time (I feel naked without it :-) so if that can give me a continuous monitor of my raid state that's great. And hopefully, if other people use it, we might reduce the number of "I didn't realise my raid was degraded, and then it suffered another failure" type emails. > > Cheers, > Wol > -- > 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 There are a number of good examples on https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Mdstat This is from my desktop...
