Subject: Monitor:  reduce default poll interval if mdstat is pollable.
X-Git-Tag: mdadm-3.0~5
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ddc7201f965ce3192b8a96f65609fe8279148c2e;p=thirdparty%2Fmdadm.git

Monitor:  reduce default poll interval if mdstat is pollable.

Since 2.6.16, mdstat responds to select/poll.
So in that case, increase the default poll interval to about 15
minutes.
This ensures that the background load is insignificant.
