What is software RAID and when should I use mdadm?

Software RAID uses the Linux kernel and mdadm to combine multiple disks for redundancy or performance. It’s ideal when you want flexibility, lower cost, and full control without relying on hardware RAID controllers.

Which RAID levels do you support with mdadm?

We support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. The choice depends on whether you prioritize performance, redundancy, or storage efficiency, and we help select the best layout for your workload.

Can you migrate existing data to a new software RAID array?

Yes, we carefully plan and execute data migration to new RAID arrays with minimal downtime, ensuring data integrity and proper filesystem alignment.

How do you monitor and manage RAID health after setup?

We configure RAID monitoring, email alerts, and periodic health checks. This allows early detection of disk failures and prevents data loss before critical issues occur.

Can software RAID be expanded later with additional disks?

In many cases, yes. mdadm supports RAID expansion and reshaping, depending on the RAID level and disk layout. We evaluate your setup and perform expansions safely.

Do you handle RAID rebuilds after disk failure?

Absolutely. We replace failed disks, supervise the rebuild process, verify data consistency, and ensure the array returns to a healthy state without performance degradation.

Is software RAID reliable for production servers?

Yes. When properly designed and monitored, software RAID with mdadm is highly reliable and widely used in production environments, including databases, virtualization hosts, and web servers.
