Hello,
I've an existing Debian 9/stretch installation that I'd like to migrate to a raid 1 setup.
I've search around but most of the how to's I've found seem to be a bit dated.
Anyone got a link to a more recent one ?
I'm pretty new to this.
Thanks

Re: migrating existing Debian stretch to raid 1
The Arch Wiki looks about right. The grub hand-editing can be ignored, just install to both member disks & update-grub. Check that the rootfs uuid is right in grub.cfg, if you use them.
make degraded array(s)
copy system
chroot in
install grub
rebuild initramfs
update fstab
reboot
add old disk.
Same as it ever was...
Everything up until the last step is easily reversible, but you have backups already, right?

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

I recommend to update fstab before rebuilding the initramfs.steve_v wrote:rebuild initramfs

Make sure you reboot using the new disk.steve_v wrote:reboot

Reinstall GRUB on the old disk.
