@splitshockvirus I'm thinking of getting rid of Mac OS X and installing Void on my Mac Pro workstation as it's outdated anyway and I have Windows for proprietary stuff.
What's the best way to do mirrored disks in Linux for two SATA (not SAS) drives? Is it still that LVM shit? Maybe there is a way to do this on filesystem level, like ZFS or something, is there one?

@m0xEE

I typically do md for RAID management. LVM can do RAID now and it uses md as the backend, but if you make the RAID manually with md you can use mdadm which is a better manager and has extensive documentaiton while LVM raid management is rather new and not as well documented imo.

ZFS is goated, but I don't really trust Linux systems to run it, also I don't think you can use it for the / drive, but don't quote me on that. I've heard the new Ubuntu version are able to use it, but I haven't tried it.

I think Void can. It can even boot to some maintenance thing so you can fix stuff if something goes wrong. But it involves some extra fawkage with the way you boot it and initrd.
