What exactly?  Every day we run 1/X'th part of job (by default, X=28)
for 1 hour.  That should be enough for arrays upto 10Tb out of box.
And, of course, it' adjustable by local admin.

The whole set of arrays would be checked fully every month in average,
on a regular basis.  There is a trouble, mentioned in #556610, when
arrays are sharing common devices.
