CentOS - Feb 2011 - Detecting harddrive problem

Hi all,
Recently I realize the filesystem became Read-only and there is "media
error" message in the system log. It has passed several days without
notice.
I'm thinking of setting up a script to grep that "media error" and
send email.
Is there more elegant way of doing this?

Thank you.

Actions needed to be done:

Buy new disk
Remove old disk
Install OS on new disk
Migrate data from old disk

done.

but two new disks.
configure mdadm  to mail you if the array fails.
