You can view the status of the service while it is running in the kernel log with dmesg. You can also review status with the following: $ systemctl status raid-check.service $ systemctl status raid-check.timer $ systemctl list-timers --all

Thank you for version bump to 4.4 but is there any reason for not using CentOS Stream version 10 upstream package and still using version 9?

In principle, Arch Linux prefers to use latest version.

While CentOS stream 9 is still not EOLed (just 21 months left) but CentOS stream 10 is supposed to be more active and more up-to-date than CentOS stream 9. So we should switch to CentOS stream 10 for upstream package.

Also CentOS Stream 9 is based on kernel 5.14 (current version - outdated for Arch) OTOH CentOS Stream 10 is based on kernel 6.12 (matching with Arch kernel major version)

In future, CentOS stream 9 may ship their MDADM package and the script that we use based on Kernel 5 which may lead to compatibility issues.

So we must switch to CentOS stream 10 to be future safe incase any unexpected change in made to CentOS stream 9 script for compatibility with kernel version 5.

I would also suggest to change timer to run on week end - Sunday morning 3AM.

In most cases that is the time we can say the load on system is low and user activity is also low.

raid-check.timer:
OnCalendar=Sun *-*-8,9,10,11,12,13,14 3:00:00

And I also suggest to change NICE level to idle instead of low. That way if there is any activity on system then raid-check will not consume disk IO.

/etc/conf.d/raid-check:
NICE=idle

Thank you

Please use mdadm version that matches with mdadm shipped with Arch (i.e. version mdadm 4.4). Also update CentOS stream version to 10 (latest) and centosrel to 2.

It would also be good idea to match package version 4.2 with mdadm package version i.e. 4.4.

Changes suggested:


pkgver=4.4 #match with mdadm version
pkgrel=1
_centstream=10
_centrel=2
...
source=("http://mirror.stream.centos.org/${_centstream}-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/mdadm-${pkgver}-${_centrel}.el${_centstream}.x86_64.rpm"

Effectively new URL would be:

https://mirror.stream.centos.org/10-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/mdadm-4.4-2.el10.x86_64.rpm

Thank you

The download of http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/mdadm-4.2-2.el9.x86_64.rpm fails, please update PKGBUILD.

@kaymmm

The PKGBUILD is in fact for 4.2-rc2 as is. PKGBUILD unflagged. works as expected.
