Aha! There it is, on both the old and new systems, so it probably is running. The question remains, "Why isn't it posting to email?" On 3/11/2020 7:50 AM, Brad Campbell wrote:

Is there seriously no one here who knows how checkarray was launched in previous versions? On 3/1/2020 3:03 PM, Leslie Rhorer wrote:quoted
I have upgraded 2 of my servers to Debian Buster, and now neither one seems to be running checkarray automatically. In addition, when I run checkarray manually, it isn't sending update emails on the status of the job. Actually, I have never been able to figure out how checkarray runs. One my older servers, there doesn't seem to be anything in /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.monthly, /etc/init.d/, /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, or /lib/systemd/system/ that would run checkarray.On mine it's in /etc/cron.d/mdadm brad@srv:/etc/cron.d$ cat mdadm # # cron.d/mdadm -- schedules periodic redundancy checks of MD devices # # Copyright © martin f. krafft [off-list ref] # distributed under the terms of the Artistic Licence 2.0 # # By default, run at 00:57 on every Sunday, but do nothing unless the day of # the month is less than or equal to 7.

I don't run anything that recent, but Debian is Debian. Brad
