Use a kernel with version at or above 4.4.2. Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel, if necessary. Only the RAID types desired are required. Device Drivers ---> [*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) ---> [CONFIG_MD] <*> RAID support [CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD] [*] Autodetect RAID arrays during kernel boot [CONFIG_MD_AUTODETECT] <*/M> Linear (append) mode [CONFIG_MD_LINEAR] <*/M> RAID-0 (striping) mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID0] <*/M> RAID-1 (mirroring) mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID1] <*/M> RAID-10 (mirrored striping) mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID10] <*/M> RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID456] mdadm Build mdadm by running the following command: make This package does not come with a working test suuite. Now, as the root user: make BINDIR=/usr/sbin install make everything: This optional target creates extra programs, particularly a statically-linked version of mdadm. This needs to be manually installed. --keep-going: Run the tests to the end, even if one or more tests fail. --logdir=test-logs: Defines the directory where test logs are saved. --save-logs: Instructs the test suite to save the logs. --tests=<test1,test2,...>: Optional comma separated list of tests to be executed (all tests, if this option is not passed).
