Monitoring raid

#1 (**permalink**) 08-Oct-2006, 10:51

Hi,

does anybody know a desktop applet or a small program to view the raid
status? I usually open a terminal window and run cat /proc/mdstat to see how
the disks are doing, but it should be an easier way.

Somewhere around you can set this as a service and have it email in the
event of a fault, IIRC.

Yast2->System->/etc/sysconfig editor->system->file systems->mdadm->mdadm_mail
and start the mdadmd process.
