Subject: Care and feeding of RAID?
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2006 08:48:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44FD722C.7050608@waldoware.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I have a RAID6 array and I wondering about care and feeding instructions :-)

Here is what I currently do:
    - daily incremental and weekly full backups to a separate machine
    - run smartd tests (short once a day, long once a week)
    - check the raid for bad blocks every week

What else can I do make sure the array keeps humming?  Thanks in advance!
