Hi all,
As I have more time on my hands at the moment, I have started to learn how to use Linux properly (and headless!). I have a microserver setup to run Ubuntu Server LTS 18.04 and I have a few questions regarding the RAID setup...
I currently have 2x1TB HDD running in RAID0, as I was only testing this at first. I am soon going to load 2x2TB HDD in RAID1 as a more permanent solution.
Until I do that, I mounted the 2x1TB drives like so:
This has mounted the RAID to /media/Storage, which is perfect.
However, whenever I shutdown the system the mount is no longer there and the Storage folder is empty.
1. How do I have it so that it mounts the drives automatically on power up?
2. I plan on moving to 2x8TB drives in the future, and then hopefully add additional 8TB drives as and when I require it. How would the RAID setup work for that? Is it just a matter of changing the RAID and adding the drive? Or is it more complicated?
Additionally, if you have any resources/tutorials websites that you think would be helpful to a beginner Linux user like me, please suggest away
Thanks!
