Hi!

 

Wanna ask you guys about raid support on armbian. I have OPiPC with desktop debian based armbian and have no /proc/mdstat file. For me it means that i have no raid support (or i'm wrong?) Raid drivers are avaliable in server version of debian? Or i dont get something? I just want create raid5 or similar. Can you help me?

 

Regards 

On Debian, raid software isn't installed by default.  Try "sudo apt-get install mdadm".  (I have not yet received my Orange Pi, so I have not tried Armbian.)

have no /proc/mdstat file.

 

This is not a bug but a feature. It's 2017 and you really shouldn't use mdraid any more (you shouldn't use RAID-5 at all). Some reasons here: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/2921-software-raid-on-opi-pc/

 

The ressources wasted in RAID are better invested in a good backup strategy.
