I hate doing storage administration on my personal hardware.
I want to replace a failing SSD in my laptop with a RAID1 (there are two slots). But I have an encrypted LVM for root.
# mdadm -C /dev/md0 ...
# parted /dev/md0 ...
# cryptsetup luksFormat ...
# pvcreate ...
# vgextend ...
# pvmove --atomic ...
# vgreduce ...
# lvextend -l 100%FREE -r ...
# cryptsetup luksUUID ... > /etc/crypttab
# vim /etc/crypttab
# vim /etc/default/grub
# update-grub
I think that's it. Wish me luck.
