Leaving VMware for XCP-ng (my first host)

Computer Hardware & Server Infrastructure Builds
1

(this is home lab environment)
Long time VMware ESXi user – First time XCP-ng user.

I noticed that XCP-ng 8.2.1 supports software raid, but I cannot find any reviews on the feature. Specifically the raid management interface of the feature.

I plan to run RAID 1 everywhere.

Has anyone used XCP-ng’s software raid?

Can anyone share any links to reviews on managing XCP-ng’s software raid?

There is no web interface for managing the raid, it’s done via Linux mdadm

XCP-ng 8.2.1 supports software RAID, including RAID 1, but reviews on the feature and its management interface are scarce. It’s primarily intended for home lab environments. You may find some user experiences in community forums, but detailed reviews might be limited.

Thank you everyone!
