Safe and secure storage with Linux

In this article I will play with software RAID mdadm in Linux. The goal is to learn how to create reliable RAID storage on Linux. I will create a RAID here, manage full disk encryption for it, show how recovery is working, grow the RAID adding a new device, install BTRFS on top of mdadm RAID and LUKS to store the data safely and securely.
