monitoring Raid on Debian

["Ross Tsolakidis" <rtsolakidis@powerserve.com.au>]

Hi all,

I've successfully installed Debian on my Raid 5 system, basically 4 disks running hardware Raid 5.
Was pretty easy, just installed using the 2nd disk from Debian.

Anyway my question relates to monitoring the hardware raid.

What application would I use to monitor it ?
Say a disk failed, at the moment the only way I would know is by looking at the machine and seeing one of the disk lights turned red.

Is there a common app people use ?
Something that can email you if there is a problem with the raid ?

Thanks.
