Thanks very much. It almost looks like you put this together in

I see there is mdctl, as well as mdutils, raidtools2, and raidtools
available in woody. All seem to have overlapping functionality and
only one of them can be installed at a time.
mdctl seems very new and appears to have a "monitoring" function.
Up to now I have been using raidtools2, this is available in potato
and woody. I am cautious to use mdctl as it is very new,
documentation is a little sparse and it is not available on potato but
in the long run I guess this will be the preferred utility.
Has anybody had any experience with these tools?
Thanks
Ian
