RAID status check for CentOS/RH/Fedora

For those who want a quick/elegant way of checking the software RAID status of your disk in RH/CentOS/Fedora use this command. "mdadm"

e.g.

mdadm --detail /dev

(the /dev, pertains to the device block that currently holds your RAID)

Cheers!!!

ERROR: /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad_0.10.22-3_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstxvid.so', which is also in package gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad 0.10.22-0.1

There is a critical bug with the new LinuxMint Debian edition of 11. During an initial apt-get upgrade if you get this error:

/var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad_0.10.22-3_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstxvid.so', which is also in package gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad 0.10.22-0.1

To get around this issue the resolution would be to install all gstreamer plugins.

apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins

Once this has been installed retry the upgrade process, it should successfully install.

Cheers!!!
