Syslog will show when a drive fails, the controller starts to use a hotspare, rebuilds, finishes the rebuild etc. Not sure, as I have never looked into it, if there is anything else right now. HP supposely just recently hired 1 engineer to start providing management drivers for FreeBSD, so hopefully soon we will have things like hpacucli, which allows to control the controller, like creating, extending a raid. > > Sincerly > > Nico > > -- > Think about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). > http://nico.schottelius.org/documentations/foss/the-term-foss/ > > PGP: BFE4 C736 ABE5 406F 8F42 F7CF B8BE F92A 9885 188C -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://www.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
