Thanks!

I just found out about app-admin/hp-health [1] from barzog-overlay [2]. Do
you think I should emerge that?

(Note: I am aware that the package's ebuild refers to an HP repo that's no
longer updated; I'll just adapt the ebuild to refer to another HP repo)

[2] https://code.google.com/p/barzog-gentoo-overlay/

Rgds,

&gt; Nothing special, you already know about the raid controller. We don&#39;t<br>
