Debian: creating raid 1 on installation
Hello,
I just got and old computer from a friend with 2x250GB HDD. I would like to use it as little home server and therefore I would like to use it in software raid 1 mode. I never did that before so I googled for a tutorial and found this one:
https://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/2013/10/04/how-to-configure-software-raid1-during-installation-process/
I did exactly the same, but I don't get it working. First I only created one partition (in the tutorial they never mention to create 2). I assume that's why I always got the error that I don't have a disk/partition left when clicking "configure software raid 1".
Then I made two partitions per drive and "configure software raid 1" worked. But now it looks like this:
But it should look like this:
Can you help me and tell me what I did wrong?
Thank you

Go to "configure software RAID" one more time and create the second RAID1 device (from sda2 and sdb2)
If you want the same setup as the screenshot, partition #2 of drive sda should be of type "raid", not "swap".
