Description Matthias Nagl 2013-12-04 20:15:33 UTC

RAID scrubbing is an important maintenance task to prevent the emergence of inconsistencies on RAID arrays (cp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_scrubbing#RAID). Although the kernel provides the necessary interfaces to start scrubbing, it is rather complicated to automate this task considering all possible pitfalls.

There is a script available solving this problem: https://github.com/fukawi2/raid-check

This script is available in several distributions via the package managers, but up to now there seems not to be an ebuild available.
