Sorry Petter, I misswrote your name... > Did you manage to make contact with the upstream author? Perhaps you > should consider taking over or help out with upstream development? No. I'm setting a whole Debian mirror in my company, redoing the whole software deployment policy. I've got about 250 packages that differ from Debian to deal with one by one, and array-info is just one of them. I began to work on it this morning as I filed the ITP and uploaded to mentors this afternoon... > Sounds nice. What do you use for modifying the RAID setup? We use the SmartArray CD provided by HP, i.e. we have to reboot on this windows-based CD to do it. It provides a lot of useful tools so it's good. If you know another way, I'm interested. > I've updated <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LinuxRaidForAdmins > with a > link to the array-info link. arrayprobe, which is in Debian already, does it too, but it gives less infos and is not as nice to read. There are also some tools packaged in Debian that provide a daemon to watch the RAID status and some snmp extension to graph it, but we don't use it. arrayprobe is easy to use as it detects the RAID controllers without having to give the device as an option, but it displays less infos. The most useful infos array-info displays is the recovery status percentage. > Perhaps the package should get a name like cciss-array-info to make it > more obvious that is is handling cciss RAIDs? Well array-info is not only cciss. It does both ida and cciss SmartArray controllers. -- Raphaël Pinson <raphink@ubuntu.com> Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings http://www.ubuntulinux.org
