I have a new HPE
Prioliant gen10plus that I will be setting up with RAID1.
I have been asking questions on the Centos-user list, but my
plan is to
install AlmaLinux 9.1
And I have been following comments about problems with RAID
support in it.
Meanwhile in my digging into RAID on my gen10+ install I
find:

And lsrrb.
Why do you need this lsrrb? What is your eventual goal
for the system? What is the hardware exactly (number and
type of drives, memory, etc) and what kind of RAID are you
trying to use? What are the problems you say that are said
about RAID support that you are trying to avoid. I think
people need a lot more info before anyone can try to answer
you.
Fair questions. I really don't know. I have never implement RAID
directly. Oh I have it working on my QNAP NAS, but that is a closed
system as far as managing the RAID, and I know the RAID works, as I
had to replace a failing drive last month.
My goal is that ALL of the software and data is RAIDed. Not just a
data store.
I bought the gen10+ for my new mail server. The goal is AlmaLinux
and iRedMail for a system that I can expect to run at least 10 years
with minimum maint. I am skating on thin ice with my current mail
server. I am getting up in years, and don't want to futz so much.
So how, with a software RAID platform, do I make things so that I
have complete recovery if even the dist with /boot fails and is
replaced? I just don't have the background.
Point me to a guide of how to do this other than what HPE provides.
I would be happy to use what is built into AL, but given some recent
postings here on RAID problems with 9.1, I need to educate myself.
