It's also worth checking that you have:

(a) an /etc/mdadm.conf file (mdadm will work reasonably well without
one, but it's better to have one, especially if you want to monitor your
RAID). If you don't have one, you can create one using:

# mdadm --detail --scan > /etc/mdadm.conf

(b) a MAILADDR line in /etc/mdadm.conf to indicate where notifications
should be sent to, e.g.:

MAILADDR user at example.com

See "man mdadm.conf" for more details.
