mdadm and monitoring

[discman (sent by Nabble.com)]

Hi.

Anyone with some experience on mdadm?
I have a running RAID0-array with mdadm and it`s using monitor-mode with an
e-mail address.
Anyone knows how to remove that e-mail adress without deleting the raid?


thanx

Just about everyone here, I'd hope ;-)

It all depends on how you setup mdadm in the first place - or if it was
supplied with your distro.

mdadm will be running in monitor mode with flags something like:

  /sbin/mdadm -F -i /var/run/mdadm.pid -m root -f -s

The -m flag says who gets emailled. If it's started at boot-time then
you'll need to trace through the /etc/init.d/mdadm (probably) file to see
where it gets it's parameters from.

Debian (sarge) puts this email address directly in the /etc/init.d/mdadm
file, and stoping & starting the monitor process won't have any effect on
your array whatsoever.
