I have a RAID volume (RAID1, mirroring) set up and working as md0, and I can see its status by doing 'cat /proc/mdstat'. This seems to be the place where I would someday see if one of the two drives has failed and the raid is in degraded mode.
Is there any kind of graphical KDE application that would run and periodically check the mdstat and notify me if anything is abnormal? It would be great if there was something that would show up by the clock (I'd call it the 'tray', but that's the windows word) that was green for happy and red for unhappy.
So far, I haven't found anything... thanks for any suggestions.
There's already a daemon that monitors the status of the arrays.
It will send you an email in case of a failure if you set the parameter
MAILADDR in /etc/mdadm.conf (see man mdadm.conf)
There's no "system tray app" to do that.
cheers
