Hi, Dario,

I don't use RAID, so I cannot help you.  It may just be that no one has
the answer, or that they don't know the answer.  This list gets about
100 emails every day.  I generally read the ones I can help with and/or
have an interest in, but I am new as well, but there are experienced
folks here, and if they knew the answer, they would help you.  I think
you stated your needs quite well, and gave good information on your
controller and system, but there are some utilities already available to
monitor disks (I don't know about raid, though), and what you didn't say
was what you have read on the web or in the list forum.  If you have
searched the forum and not found the answer, then you might add those
references to your message.

Regards,
Les H
