While we are on the subject:

What is the practical difference between VERIFY and REBUILD with regards
to a RAID-5 array?

My Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 and 2340 cards can be scheduled to perform
either verify or rebuild. I currently have them set to verify the arrays
weekly. Is that reasonably often? Do I want to rebuild regularly also
(or instead of verify)?
