>Description:
	If a RAID array component has failed, but no-one is watching the
	console, it doesn't make a noise.  Unless you count the sound of the
	drive head scraping against the platter :)

	Included patch adds support to /etc/daily to do a brief health report
	on all arrays defined in /etc/raid*.conf, if any.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Notice how quietly a RAID component can fail, wonder how long it would
	take to notice on a redundant array...

>Fix:
Patch defaults to enabled checks, because with no configuration files the
report is silent.  The report could likely be improved on, but it's a good
start - the important thing is to see the component list and whether any have
failed.
