I have off the IDE 2 320GB HDD's that is split across 3 md's boot/swap/= main. Only the Main is 'check'ed/repaired. Very rarely have a problem h= ere! On the Sata's I have 7 HDD's of varying size(4x500, 2x750, 1x1TB) and m= akes(Samsung, Hitachi, Seagate) strung together to form a now raid6 (ra= id5 until a couple of weeks ago). On top of that i have a VG split into= ~6 LV's and in some of those i have mount SquashFS filesystems. until = i moved the drive order around at the weekend for access issues. I didn= 't really have any problems - except the occasional issue - I scrub it = weekly currently. BUT I have only just converted from raid5 to 6 and probably not run tha= t many checks since so it could be related to that! =20 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
