Some stuff mostly useful to me
Find the disks:
lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,FSTYPE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT
Do we already have raid volumes?
cat /proc/mdstat
If yes unmount and stop:
umount /dev/md0
mdadm --stop /dev/md0
Cleanup the headers for each disk:
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb
Create a raid volume:
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb
Levels are the classical ones: 0 stripes, 1 mirror, 5 etc
Then
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/md0
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/md0
And store the results:
mdadm --detail --scan | tee -a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
update-initramfs -u
echo '/dev/md0 /mnt/md0 ext4 defaults,nofail,discard 0 0' | tee -a /etc/fstab
