From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just received 2 SSD for OS+Apps and 2 HDD (2x the size of the SSDs) for backups.

I will use Debian 12 to serve a few VMs and i'm thinking on using btrfs with RAID1 and encryption for the set of SSDs and for the set of HDDs.

I'm thinking on using a non-encrypted boot partition and md for swap and the rest of the drives for encrypted raid1 with btrfs.

Any hints or suggestion for the storage layout ?

Why would you use LVM to configure the RAID-1 devices? Btrfs supports raid1 natively.
