That's pretty cool Paul, I'll definitely try that out sometime soon.

Yup, makes sense. By the way, I do happen to know a way to test RAID
stuff, just in case you get the yen to play around. You can make a
couple large files, assign loop block devices to them, and treat them
like disks:

$ sudo -i
# for i in {0..3}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=diskfile$i bs=1M count=1024
conv=noerror,sync ; done
# for i in diskfile* ; do losetup -f $i ; done

Now you have /dev/loop0 through /dev/loop3 that you can treat like
/dev/sd{a,b,c,d} and make an array. When you're done, just:

# losetup -D
# rm -f diskfile{0..3}

Yeah the readability score was a difficult one to raise, and I gave up
sort of except for the outro. I decided to fall back to what you had
said before "Don't get caught up on technicalities" the schedule must go on.

I saw the snippet after I wrote this -- thanks! I also made that more
active, with a call-to-action (such as "Learn how to," "Read about,"
etc.). Let me know if some of the changes I made make sense. The
passive/active part takes some practice, it's not always easy. In
fact, I couldn't get that to go "green" without goofing the text up
too much. As i said, the article was a good one so these are all just
fine-tuning.

I did use the Yoast SEO,  and I worked at trying to get the readability
score up, for all of Sunday morning,without tainting the actual content
or message the author was posting about. I did add to the Snippet to
bring it into the green zone. As for scheduling, I meant to publish last
night but there were some matters pressing I had to attend to. Timing is
everything some days.

Overall I think this article turned out very good. A couple points,
though... I recommend using the Yoast SEO and readability plugins to
help guide writing. For instance, this article shows up with too many
passive voice sentences. In that case, it's useful to go back and
rewrite to make the prose stronger. If you can put "by Klingons" at
the end of the sentence and it makes grammatical and syntactical
sense, it's passive voice. So for example:

Passive: Using the --rebuild option, the RAID array can be
reassembled. ["...by Klingons" works, so rewrite.]
Active (better): Use the --rebuild option to reassemble the RAID
array. ["...by Klingons" test fails.]

Also the plugin notes this article could use some breaking up with
subheadings for more readability.

There's also a snippet that should be filled out for SEO, so search
engines show the right kind of excerpt. I made a few tweaks and
will publish since no one scheduled it already.

You're welcome Gregory, interesting topic and good article. I couldn't
try it out though which sort of sucks, but that is my setup as it stands
and nothing to do with the topic. :-)

Thanks Steven. I think the way you re-phrased some of the statements is a
definite improvement. :-)
