Thought, I would share what’s on it :)

- Raid1 setup on boot, grub as well as VM storage repository. If one of the hard goes down, it’ll boot from other one.
- Samba installed to have a share setup in a raid array of 700GB
- Raild alerts are configured to email me whenever there’s any issue
- Smartmontools are running to make sure that hard disks are healthy and have emails alerts configured as well.
- Auto on-the-fly backup of all virtual machines without shutting them off, every night at 1am keeping the two most recent backups of VMs all the time.
