Set Up a RAID Array¶

Usage¶

To set up a RAID array, you can add the --raid flag with a comma-separated list of parameters. Below are example configurations:

Alternatively, you can use the default --raid (with no arguments), which will set up as raid 0,ext4,/home,md10.

Here are some example commands:

./setup.sh -u $username -p $password -e $email --raid

# or

raid="10,btrfs,/mnt,md15"
./setup.sh -u $username -p $password -e $email --raid $raid

RAID Level	RAID Format	Mount Point	RAID Name	Conditions
10	`btrfs` or `ext4` or `xfs`	(path you want)	mdX*	4 disks or more
6	`btrfs` or `ext4` or `xfs`	(path you want)	mdX*	4 disks or more
5	`btrfs` or `ext4` or `xfs`	(path you want)	mdX*	3 disks or more
0	`btrfs` or `ext4` or `xfs`	(path you want)	mdX*	2 disks or more

*mdX is a common name. X represents a number while md is the standard prefix used for RAID device names in Linux.

Tip

You can also use ext as a shortcut for ext4. This provides a more convenient and concise option when specifying the filesystem type.
