3 thoughts on - Good Linux Software RAID Primer Advise

• The red hat family of linux is my advise. Most practical is a CentOS 7.4 version, since its support many application software packages. Skype, libre Office, Firefox, thunderbird.

  Good luck with the configuration !

  Best.

  Dear Experts,

  Could someone recommend good Linux software RAID primer. It would be good if it has good coverage of monitoring and dealing with failures.

  I inherited a couple of boxes with big bunch of software RAIDs each, and I
  even may have some problems, but I don’t want to bother anybody with specifics unless I really hit brick wall, not just my own ignorance.

  Thanks in advance for all your answers!

  Valeri
