I’m considering moving to Start9. One of my key considerations is the ability to run multiple disks in raid 1 config. Ideally, I would have one large 2TB ssd for the blockchain and then smaller ssds for lnd data in raid 1 config. Is this setup possible with StartOS?
Hi slaaavo!
The current version of StartOS does not support storing data on separate drives, but this feature is in development for future releases. Your best option is to use a Type 1 hypervisor, like Proxmox, and run StartOS as a VM.
StartOS won’t currently do what you are trying to do there. StartOS stores all service containers, and their data, on a single drive. If you run StartOS in a VM, the virtual drive that StartOS sees as a single drive, can be a Raid 1 handled by the host OS. But you still won’t be able split service between drives. VMs or not.
