There is a md RAID feature called "repair", which can be regularly 
scheduled via a cron job and will do a full check and repair of the 
entire array.

This can be initiated with the command:

echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action

where mdX is your array.

More information on md RAID options can be found in the file md.txt, in 
the Documentation directory of the kernel source.

Richard
