Yes, that works just fine, as does the daily email alert whenever an array is degraded, but `checkarray --cron --all --idle` doesn't produce an email. It starts the array verification on all the arrays, but no status on the processes are sent. The normal execution for the script is to submit `echo check > /sys/block/mdx/md/sync_action` and then exit. Obviously, the rest of the processes are handled by the scheduler and mdadm. I'm not seeing how anything other than mdadm should be generating the status emails.
I don't get messages from checkarray. I get them from logcheck after they get dumped in the syslog : This email is sent by logcheck. If you no longer wish to receive such mail, you can either deinstall the logcheck package or modify its configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).
