I tried e-mailing the address you mentioned above but got a permanent failure message. If there is a better place to pose this question, please feel free to redirect me.
After years of trial and error I am finally transferring my entire RAID to linux as a software RAID. I have wanted to do it for some time, but just did not have the linux expertise to get it done. My RAID 6 is building as I write this, but this is one feature I have not been able to locate. Most of the hardware RAID I have used in the past had something called "Dynamic Sector Repair" where it would do a low impact check through the raid to confirm and dynamically repair any damaged sectors or data. This is an amazing capability since it drastically reduces the likelihood of a catastrophic failure during a drive rebuild or some similar action. Does mdadm have this capability at all? Would it be possible to add it? If not, are you aware of any apps that could?
If this is written in the documentation and I just missed it I apologize. My understanding of linux is still on the low end. Thank you for your time!
