    Default Software Raid and monthly rebuilds DSS7 Lite

    We have 2 DSS7 Lite servers with identical Raid config (1 x R5 & 1 x R1).

    Almost every month the R5 Raid on both units rebuilds - is this normal?
    We normally only ever use HW Raid (LSI), so this is a bit confusing, but we think maybe it's expected, but I can't find another post asking the same thing, so we need to ask!

    This is from the critical_errors file...
