Windows Software Raid 1 - CasaOS via Ubuntu - BoostAteHisDog - 2024-02-03

Hello, I have recently swapped from a windows 10 server to a ubuntu server with CasaOS. The disks had a Raid 1 windows software array and I'm wondering if I can set the array back up to read with Jellyfin.
Thanks in advance!

linux will not work with windows storage spaces
NTFS should not be used with linux in general even if it did

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it should still read each disk individually since it's just a simple mirror. Linux can read NTFS, it's just a permissions nightmare if you USE it for services.

if it's a windows software raid then it was likely setup from disk manager which does weird things to it's disks, it's not simply a mirror
something like https://recoverhdd.com/blog/creating-software-raid-in-windows.html

(this sort of raid is also a nightmare to recover)

I saw something about using mdam?

to do what?

are you now asking for suggestions on doing software raid in linux?

i don't believe this is the forum for general linux questions, there are better resources available such as the forum for your chosen OS

pretty sure the latest is ZFS but i couldn't even say Casa supports that thus their forum is a better resource
(and then your next question will be how to set it up and i would certainly not be able to provide a guide on that for any OS)
