[GRLUG] XFS on Softraid

[Grand Rapids Linux Users Group]

I am not familiar with rsnapshot. But if this an `md` of mdadm software raid, you might be able to isolate and track down the problem with
 
./mdadm --monitor —mail=you at yourhost --syslog --delay=300 /dev/md0 --daemonise

where md0 is your container


cheers
