Hi,

I just ran into this. I am active on both the linux-raid mailing list, and on the #linux-raid IRC channel. We frequently get people in both places who have problems with their arrays, some of them is because of lack of frequent "scrubbing" to find read errors on the drives.

This issue needs to be fixed before it turns into a huge disaster. The current default behaviour of checkarray cron is that it's run first sunday every month. This is a sensible default, but it's now broken in Ubuntu.

Please fix this, before people start to lose data because checkarray isn't currently working.
