  • Go into the rescue console and reinstall and follow the directions for using raid 0 which will combine your two drives as one.

    How do I access rescue console ?

    Hetzner directed me to https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Installimage/en#Drives

    Cant make anything out of it

    then what ?

    Its this one, remember the password it gives you id paste it in a notepad or something then either restart your server in ssh or from hetzner control panel, once booted up type in "installimage", select the OS you want and then follow the on screen instructions, you can then edit the install script and you want to change the raid level to 0 do not there is a option for you to set SW raid to on or off and one for the radi level make sure you change the right one, then you can change hostname and partitions but thats down to you, once you finished editing press F10 and yes and then let the install finish.

    All done

    if you need help let me know the OS you want and i will give you the commands to use to put directly into rescue system to install via CLI

  • Remember to backup your files.. you are running raid 0, if one of your disk fail/broken then you will lost your data

  • I would suggest, that you check your drives before setting anything up.
    You would regret it, if your drives have failed sectors already.

    How would one check for failed sectors?

  • If a probability of one drive failing within a year is say 3%, raid 1 will make the probability of loosing data (due to both drives failing at the same time) be about 0.09%.

    Raid 0, on the other hand will make that 6%.

    Nice. We call it yoloraid btw, not raid 0.

    Setting up RAID-0 will allow you to do this, and you've been given good advice on how to achieve it already.

    But, just in case you haven't caught on, multiple people are strongly suggesting that this is not a smart thing to do, as it greatly increases your chance of data loss if one of the two drives fails.
