Hello fellow lists dwellers, trying to plan and make decisions about migrating a simple, currently two disk sata Raid1 with only a single data partition on it. Created during initial install time of some openSuSE early leap or even earlier times, some years ago in the past. I am not booting off that Raid1, mdraid that is, md127 or something got created by some opensuse installer back then. Methinks I even read about some bugzilla entries at opensuse about why it was called md127 instead of md0 and md1 and such low numbers. Never gotten fixed or settled or I never cared about its name. Also, no LVM here or that kind of stuff, never managed to wrap my head around it, dont know if its even state of the art or necessary for my basic needs. Need data redundancy for a simple data store for files. Found some nice article: <https://zedt.eu/tech/linux/migrating-existing-raid1-volumes-bigger-drives/> System is currently on Leap 15.1 level. Is it advised to use built-in means to go about such a task? Does yast partition and disk tools support adding these things and migrating data over to larger physical disks etc at a sufficient technical level so that everything works fine? I also read in various other articles about partition and data alignment woes, about partition identifiers and whatnot, and wonder if built-in stuff of Leap 15.1 suffices for my basic needs and expansion idea of my physical disks? Thanks for any further pointers and ideas or suggestions what to take into consideration?
