[TriLUG] How do you know when a RAID array is BROKE?

[Randall Barlow]

With all the RAID stuff lately, one question came to mind (from someone 
who has never used RAID but is thinking about it :)): how do you know 
when a disk has failed?  Do you just have to keep reading the logs, or 
do you configure the system to drop you an e-mail or what?  What does it 
do by default?
