Raid setup

debianlearner · 01-26-2022, 05:20 AM

I am thinking of setting up RAID arrays for use in a desktop running a Debian 11 distribution.

I propose to put the Debian 11 software in a RAID 1 array consisting of two HDDs.

I also propose to put the user data in a separate RAID 1 array consisting of another two HDDs.

Am I right in thinking that the Debian 11 Raid array cannot be set up using software Raid, but the user data
Raid array can be set up using software Raid ?

I'd be mighty surprised were that to be true. I'd also be similarly surprised if the Debian wiki didn't have plenty to say on the subject.

Never been a Debian user, so general comments only.

Looks like setting up a RAID1 at install has been supported for some time.
