Thanks... I know nothing about "check scrubs". Could you point me to a good resource? I've found https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Scrubbing and https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Scrubbing_the_drives, but it's hard to tell exactly how the system should be configured in order to run these regularly. A weekly cron perhaps? And, should it be just check, or repair? etc... Any help you could offer would be welcome.
if your distribution don't install a cronjob for that you should blame them because RAID without regular scrub is asking for troubles
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -q --file /etc/cron.d/raid-check mdadm-4.0-1.fc26.x86_64 [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/cron.d/raid-check 30 4 * * Mon root /usr/sbin/raid-check
Is this something I should run now? I figure it's a bad idea to push an array that is starting to degrade... haven't had a chance to replace the drive yet, but will get to it this week. Probably best to start the scrubbing routines once I have 4 good drives in there I figure...
NO - never put any load you can avoid on degraded arrays -- 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
