I'm in no hurry, I'll wait until tomorrow, by which time the remaining 30% should be finished.

Ok! Now we'll sit waiting for your email a week from now: It's going at 99% still!

I'm joking :-P

Good, I was worried. ;) The test is finished now. Here's part of the '-a' output: ~~~ SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 10 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 036 Pre-fail Always - 4 SMART Error Log Version: 1 No Errors Logged SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 1651 - ~~~ So no errors where found, and the Reallocated_Sector_Ct hasn't changed. So the disk seems to be ok... for now...

My 300 GiB from Seagate, a test like that makes postfix growl with all kinds of timeout errors. I have to stop services (no raid). You are lucky with yours ;-)

Our disks are also Seagate: Device Model: ST3750640AS So it might be due to the raid-1 configuration I'm not experiencing any delays when the test is running...

Also, you know that you can have an "active spare" inside the raid. If there is a problem, it will immediately activate it and switch over. The disadvantage is, obviously, that the spare is powered up, although idle. In those cases, I would have an spare outside, too - maybe I'm too paranoid ;-)

There isn't room inside the server (it's a 1U 19" with only two HD drive bays), so I don't have to consider this. ;)

Ah, lucky again, no worries!
