Software-based RAID 1 Array With OM Lx 4.3?

Support
1

Anyone presently or previously familiar with using software-based RAID with Lx 4.3?

I’m interested in implementing a RAID 1 array using 2 WD 6TB internal SATA HDD drives.
(I don’t want to install the operating system to boot from the array.)

mdadm vs lvm?
While I know of the included mdadmlvm CLI options, I’m not sure which approach would offer the preferable trade-offs, and I’m particularly drawn to the convenience of a GUI interface, preferably without having to go through a web-based solution to get one.

(BTW, I’m almost absolutely positively certain I’m not going to write my own.)
:slight_smile:

The KDE Partition Manager 21.12.2 included with Lx 4.3 does not provide RAID support.

From initial glimpses, these might be functional:
KVPM - KDE Volume and Partition Manager
Blivet-GUI - Fedora

Does anyone have any ideas and/or recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
