I use mdadm for raid administration. On my previous RH8 install, I had a service that was started on boot to monitor the md devices through /proc/mdstat, and that sent an e-mail when something was wrong. I couldn't find a boot script in the mdadm ebuild, so I quickly wrote one. It works on my machine, with 5 raid1 devices. It probably needs some cleaning by somebody who has written more than one Gentoo rc-script in his life, some testing, and could then be added to mdadm.
Created attachment 35593 [details] Init script to start mdadm in monitor mode Needs reviewing and testing.
Created attachment 35602 [details] Init file to start mdadm in monitor mode Oops, was a bit too quick. Changing the uid to nobody prevented sending events as e-mail. Staying as root makes it work.
added to 1.8.1, thanks :)
