![]() Physical Disks Partitioning for RAID PersonasĪt this point, we will partition all available physical disks into the same way, to create two MD RAID personas: Next, create a username for a regular account:įinally, set a password for a regular user:Ħ.

The purpose of this tutorial is to help you go through the whole installation procedure smoothly and painlessly. While the standard setup with just a single disk is still relatively digestible for most users, the more sophisticated setup involving RAID with LVM might be pretty hard and arduous. So it won’t interfere with your work you won’t notice it’s running.Debian is a powerful, multipurpose, and super stable Linux distro, however, in my humble opinion, its installation wizard was never a strong point of this Linux distribution, making it pretty difficult to install for beginners.
