ThanksIf the email notification is what you need, this script from this site might be enough http://my.sohost.eu/knowledgebase/4/Monitor-Linux-software-RAID-array-with-e-mail-notification.html Just remember to change the email address accordingly.

ThanksThere are 3 ways to setup RAID 10 on Linux (mdadm). There are -n2 -f2 and -o2 options (near, far and offset) and best for ordinary use is far (f2). Here is some numbers from: http://blog.jamponi.net/2007/12/some-raid10-performance-numbers.html # the kernel is 2.6.22.12, openSUSE "default" kernel # the CPU is an AMD x86-64, x2 3600+ in power-saving mode (1000 MHz) # the MB is an EPoX MF570SLI which uses the nVidia MCP55 SATA (PCIe) # the drives are 3 different makes of SATA II, 7200 rpm # each drive is capable of not more than 75 MiB/s (at best - the outermost tracks) and closer to 70 MiB/s the In MiB/s level format Writing Reading Writing Reading (Degraded)(Degraded) raid5 left-asymmetric 55 129 46 124 raid5 left-symmetric 54 123 50 122 raid5 right-asymmetric 54 124 49 124 raid5 right-symmetric 54 128 49 116 raid10 n2 103 95 103 104 raid10 o2 102 94 100 102 raid10 f2 97 162 97 51 raid0 - 205 186 n/a n/a Or in indexes: level format Writing Reading Writing Reading (Degraded)(Degraded) raid5 left-asymmetric 0.8 1.8 0.7 1.8 raid5 left-symmetric 0.8 1.8 0.7 1.7 raid5 right-asymmetric 0.8 1.8 0.7 1.8 raid5 right-symmetric 0.8 1.8 0.7 1.7 raid10 n2 1.5 1.4 1.4 1.4 raid10 o2 1.5 1.4 1.4 1.4 raid10 f2 1.4 2.3 1.4 0.7 raid0 - 3.0 2.8 n/a n/a Ljubomir

Thanks.I thought the default setup that you get when you install on raid would configure it to send email to root about problems (that is, you get an entry for 'MAILADDR root' in /etc/mdadm.conf and an automatically started madadm --monitor process). At least I don't remember doing anything special to get those and there is a line: # mdadm.conf written out by anaconda at the top of the file. So the only thing you should have to do is add an alias for root in /etc/aliases to have this and the info that logwatch sends periodically delivered to the address of your choice. Depending on your internet connection and mail server, you might need some tweaking to make outbound mail work, but that's a different question. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
