As it's the 1st Sunday of the month and #mdadm's periodic checks runs, here's a short plug for all those who want the #SoftwareRAID state in their #LinuxDesktop monitored without installing a fully fledged #monitoring system like Icinga or Xymon:
I wrote a small helper for the #systemtray showing an icon with green, yellow or red state indicators and doing notifications in case of change.

The #yunohost running this #microblogpub instance runs on a #RockPro64 in a #Pine64 nas case.
I started a year ago by installing it on an eMMC as a yunohost test, added two sata SSDs and now decided to simplify the setup by removing the eMMC boot medium.
Booting of the #SoftwareRaid configured on the SATA SSDs turned out to be less easy then I'd expected and I ended up preparing a #howto about doing this remote via ssh.

Auch diesen Monat wieder: Willkommen im md-raid-Synchronisierungs-Club...
Ich hab da noch ein paar Stunden vor mir. Wie schaut's bei euch aus?
OK question. I had to install Windows 10 (2004) for my brother's new server. Installed is an Adaptec 6805E and 5x 16 TB Seagate Exos. I made a software raid under Linux but after every reboot the drove is completely empty or Windows sets the volume offline. Windows logs aren't helpful.
Has anyone came across anything like this? The Adaptec recognizes all drives and they are configured as JBOD. Guess I have to get there next weekend and debug.
