It's difficult to follow what you've written because the quote blocks take so much space. I'd suggest using code blocks instead as those include scroll bars when the transcript is long.Good evening everyone, I have a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB RAM that I use as a server, to this I have attached (via a powered hub) 5 HDDs, 1 for data sharing with SAMBA (4Tb), I would like to set up the other 4 with RAID 10 (4 HDD 2Tb):
Back on topic, software RAID on Linux has been around for a long time and should just work. Over the last 20 years I've had 4 or 5 disk crashes with software RAID and never lost data. However, these days I prefer BTRFS as it's not so dependent on uninterruptible power as RAID.
Crucially BTRFS in mirror mode doesn't require lengthy resilver times after power unexpectedly goes out. The initial setup is also much faster. I've found BTRFS reliable enough and was able to recover after a disk crash. If RAID continues to cause problems, I would suggest trying BTRFS in mirror mode instead.
