Hello,

For some time now I’ve been really struggling to get a server setup properly with RAID 1. This is an NVR system for cameras, I want to use XFS with this system. I would love if someone could help me or link me to a guide, I cannot find one. Encryption is preferred. A step by step, guide would be great, drop an XMR address and I will send you a tip for your help!

Thank you! :)

    /dev/md127 is probably a raid 1 from a previous installation. Assuming you don’t need the data on it, you can either delete or ignore it.

    I’m not familiar with this exact installer, but I have installed Debian a bunch before. Judging by what I’m seeing here, you probably need to do a bit of manual labor. I’m guessing you first create partition tables (usually gpt), then raid partitions, then combine them into a raid, and maybe then put lvm on top of that again, and finally a filesystem. If you’re planning to go the lvm route you probably want to create a smaller raid on the start of the disk for /boot (250-500MB should suffice) separate from the lvm, because last I checked you can’t boot from an lvm volume.
