The idea can be taken one step further by introducing storage pools, a bit like ZFS, LVM and btrfs do. E.g. on a regular machine there might be two pools, one with all HDDs and one with all SSDs. When creating a RAID the user simply selects the pool and the number of devices instead of the individual disks. YaST would then find the best suitable disks of the pool to create the RAID.
But maybe not many people create RAIDs in the first place, so what wizards could the YaST storage UI, both the expert partitioner as well as the storage proposal during installation, provide to help as many users as possible? We pay attention even to the most crazy ideas.
Hi, I recently established 3 different RAID arrays on 4 disks with 4 partitions each using the primitive tools. A wizard that could do this from bare metal would really have been appreciated even though I learned a lot. The main problem was that much of the on-line descriptions assume that each disk in the array will have only a single partition, which is not realistic in the era of multi-TB drives.
