Title: Software RAID?
Post by: TheEricHarris on Wednesday 04 August 2010, 05:59:22 am
How does the software RAID work in 2.4?  I have a new Dell R210 with two drives (no onboard RAID controller) and I have it setup using the software RAID.  Is there a way to see the status of the drives?

Anyone else use the built-in software for RAID 1?  Is there no way to monitor it?

cat /proc/mdstat or  mdadm --monitor --mail=root@localhost --delay=1800 /dev/md?
This is the normal way to check the status of software RAID in Linux.

Check http://www.prefetch.net/articles/linuxsoftwareraid.html (http://www.prefetch.net/articles/linuxsoftwareraid.html), maybe is what you need.

About showing that info on Web GUI, maybe you can tweak the status.cgi page.

Btw, how do you enable RAID on endian, there is some option at install?
