RAID support with NanoPI-M4 + SATA HAT
Posted: Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:43 am
I recently got my hands on the SATA HAT, and I tried creating a software raid using two 2TB drives. However, I quickly ran into some issues with the command on Linux. The issue comes when I try to create the raid device:
The core issue is that the md_mod module is not included in the kernel supplied with FriendlyCore. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and managed to solve it? I'm not extremely well-versed when it comes to building custom kernels, but if that is the way to go I could look into it. Is there another way to create software raid on NanoPI-M4?
