hi joe
what kind of raid1 failures are you trying to find/monitor ??
i would just send a test file to disk...and see it i can
recover the test files from the mirrore'd set
- if your test file does nto show up on the mirror...
you have to go and check why not
- Some raid monitoring sw ( from various raid posters )
