The line suggested has a typo: it should be something like this: 30 2 * * Mon echo check > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action The only program that line needs is `echo' and I'm sure you've got that. (You also need to have sysfs mounted at /sys, but virtually everyone has their systems set up like that nowadays.) (obviously you can check more than one array: just stick in other lines that echo `check' into some other mdN at some other time of day.) -- `... in the sense that dragons logically follow evolution so they would be able to wield metal.' --- Kenneth Eng's colourless green ideas sleep furiously
