Updated Notes: 2/18/2017 RAID 1 on Linux Mint
useful RAID reference:
- How To Create RAID Arrays with mdadm on Ubuntu 16.04
Setting up Raid 1 (mirror) in linux mint (or any distro)
Setting up RAID 1 (Mirroring) using ‘Two Disks’ in Linux – Part 3
Set up RAID 1 with fdisk - 2/18/2017
If you have 2 drives, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
fdisk /dev/sda
Create Partitions with fdisk
- d - delete any existing partitions
- n - create a new partition
fdisk /dev/sdb
Create Partitions with fdisk
- d - delete any existing partitions
- n - create a new partition
Now use fdisk to convert partitions to a type needed for building the RAID array
fdisk /dev/sda
- t - change the partition type to "fd". You can get a list of available types
