Any thoughts? > Since Mint is (technically) a *buntu distro, you also have a third option, ZFS on Linux aka ZoL: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=306210 Single drive installation is basically brainless, however to boot from a mirrored root pool (RAID 1 equivalent) you do still have to jump through some hoops: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting Started/Ubuntu/Ubuntu 20.04 Root on ZFS.html Benchmarks show that ZoL has slower read/write performance and uses more RAM than mdadm but it claims more "features" (snapshot backups, file compression, "self healing" checksums for data integrity). Since you already have a lot of experience with mdadm you'll probably want to stick with that, just letting you know ZoL exists and seems to be (slowly) gaining popularity :-) Good luck with your installs, -- Adam Schaible plug@schibes.com ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
