Bug#556610: incremental checkarray every night instead of a full monthly

[Alice Ferrazzi]

Hello,

there is also a patch about it here:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mdadm/mdadm.git;a=blobdiff;f=debian/checkarray;h=72bbe567ad2803cb8b36b4d94cd4951ad43ed90c;hp=dafc652930cab7ab19d3e148d81fbbe3527002cf;hb=00b7efaef7fc837deaca9991ff718f096b8d1883;hpb=0b80e69a2a980be27d30536099b69e76688ba7cc

maybe if you like it you can integrate it in your patch
