Mdadm is used to create linux MD raids.
Usage
# Check the status of /dev/md0
mdadm -D /dev/md0
Create a raid array
See https://www.tecmint.com/create-raid-6-in-linux/
First use gdisk to create a linux raid partition (FD00) on all your disks. Note that is purely convention and is optional.
Then run the following to create /dev/md0.
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=6 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
# Now you have a block device /dev/md0 on which you can add LUKS, LVM, or a filesystem.
Add hot spare
See https://tuxfixer.com/how-to-add-hot-spare-volume-to-the-existing-mdadm-software-raid-array/
mdadm --add /dev/md0 $DEVICE
Scrubs
On Ubuntu, md will automatically scrub on the first Sunday of every month using a systemd timer.
