can I make amr(4) more noisy?

Hi,

I am trying out a MegaRAID SCSI 320 controller, performance
is fine but 
dissappointed by the fact that the driver tells you nothing
when a drive 
goes bad or the array is rebuilt etc.

Am I missing something or must I rely on another piece to
get the info 
required?

Thanks,

--per

THE APPLICATION AMRSTAT WILL GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION FROM
THE COMMAND LINE.  WE RUN IT FROM CRON AND HAVE IT SEND US
MAIL ON A DAILY BASIS WITH STATS.  THIS IS WHAT THE OUTPUT
LOOKS LIKE.

LOGICAL VOLUME 0:       OPTIMAL (407.92 GB, RAID1)
PHYSICAL DRIVE 0:0      ONLINE
PHYSICAL DRIVE 0:1      ONLINE
PHYSICAL DRIVE 0:2      ONLINE
PHYSICAL DRIVE 0:3      ONLINE
PHYSICAL DRIVE 0:4      ONLINE
PHYSICAL DRIVE 0:5      ONLINE

REGARDS,

MIKE

Thanks. Yes, this could be used in a script I suppose to
send an alarm. 
For instance, if the word "optimal" above is not
present, I could safely 
assume something is wrong?
