Bug Description

I'm using a software raid5 with three disks as /home.

Before migrating to a software raid I had faulty hard disks and was warned by a popup after login.
Now, using the raid, there is no warning of any degraded status.

My expectation is that the system tells me that the raid is degraded.
Either by a notification after login or any other means that doesn't involve sending a mail.

Actually I don't know if the gnome-disk-utility is the correct package.
I don't know either if failure warings of single HDDs work in Ubuntu at all any more.
My expertise is from past versions of Ubuntu.

This is happening to me with GDU 3.18.3.1 in linux mint 18.
A degraded raid array no longer shows up as degraded and the sync process is no longer visible.
