yes! If you can, please do :)

I bet that it would occupy less pixels on rox panel on the screen if
it was integrated together. I don't mind one more applet, but I do
really mind my screen real estate, and each pixel counts :)

uh, no. I started learning python few months ago, and still have not
enough time. So I guess that raid status would remain just my wishful
thinking. Especially that I'd like to observe raid status on _remote_
machines :)

But anyway, just for the record, there are two things possible to
show about raid:

- rebuild progress (the bar goes from 0% to 100%)

- status of each disk: active/spare/faulty. It could be a bar divided
into as many segments are there are disks in the raid array. And each
segment would have a color corresponding to active/spare/faulty state.



Just one more question - would it be possible to draw history? Eg. a
CPU graph, or network load graph...


best regards
