I know mdadm offers a "--test" command, but it seems quite useless:
-t, --test
Generate a TestMessage alert for every array found at
startup. This alert gets mailed and passed to the alert program. This
can be used for testing that alert message to get through
successfully.
That helps with knowing that alerts are working, but I'd like to be able
to test the spare drive in an array. Is there any way to test a spare
device in a RAID to make sure it's in good shape and not likely to fail
once it's needed?
Thanks!
Hal
