[arch-general] Bios Raid (Fake Raid) and Virtual Raid (Software Raid)
Hi, Can you tell me what is capable to do Arch Linux: Bios Raid (Fake Raid) and Virtual Raid (Software Raid)? Thank you!
You can do software raid in Arch using mdadm. Details here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RAID On Mon., 2 Sep. 2019, 09:07 Kelly Rogers via arch-general, < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

If you're talking about intel rapid storage it is compatible/useable like soft raid On Mon, Sep 2, 2019, 6:19 AM Chris Billington via arch-general < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

Forget fake-raid -- dmraid (though I have used it for years), just use Linux software RAID (mdadm). Far more flexible and a guaranteed migration path forward. The overhead for software raid was negligible on on single-core 486 machines, it isn't even in the noise anymore. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

You can do either in Linux, I believe both work with mdadm. BIOS RAID is only worth using if you plan to share the array with another OS, though, like Windows. Yaro
Thank everyone for those information!☺
