Friendly reminder to test notifications for MDADM and Smartd
Posted on Fri 05 December 2014 in Software
MDADM (when devices are in the configuration):
mdadm --monitor --scan --test --oneshot
Smartd:
Add the following to your smartd.conf at the end of the "DEVICESCAN" lines you want to test:
-M test
After that, restart your smartd service.
Be sure to remove the "-M test" line afterwards so you won't get test notifications each time!
