Periodic RebuildStarted event

[Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org>]

I just got through the RebuildStarted event which seems to be
monthly.  This is being triggered by my Debian config, but before I
nuke it I'd like to know a little more.

If a real disk error happens during this rebuild on a raid5, would the
disk go into regular degraded mode or would it count as a double
fault?

I also noticed that recently all the checks for all the arrays happen
simultaneously.  That's bad because most of them share the same
physical disks.  Am I imagining this or was the system smart enough to
do them one after another until recently?

Do you do period checks? I get lots of device mismatches reported but
apparently that's normal if there's write activity.  The whole thing
sound contra-productive to me and might panic new users.
