Subject:   how do I know when RAID fails ? (mylex, PERC, etc)

I have a few systems running dell PERC raid controllers, and a few running
mylex controllers.  All of them are being used to provide RAID mirrors,
which I use to run FreeBSD on.

So the question is, what happens when I am happily running along, and a
drive fails ?  Certainly things keep running, since they are mirrors, but
how do I know a drive has failed ?

Does the driver report to syslog ?

I would really hate to wake up someday and lose the second drive in a
mirror volume, only to realize the first drive had died a month ago and I
never knew about it.

So how do I know when bad things happen with my RAID drives?

thanks,

pt
