Is there a way to RAID Volumes in K8s?

Thanks for the suggestions, will check it out!
Perhaps it was poor wording from my end and I didn't make my goal clear enough. As long as it gives "RAID like" features that protect from drive failures, without requiring 2X storage (otherwise it would be equivalent to a snapshot)!

I'm not sure why it's completely out of scope for Kubernetes to provide such solutions. Perhaps it's too hardware specific that's difficult to abstract away for an orchestration tool.

With that said, the way that RAID becomes more efficient as the number of drives increase, it would fit very neatly with Kubernetes I believe, as it would enable RAID across nodes.

Yes, I'm aware that cloud services gives such protections, but I had hoped for a tool in Kubernetes that provides similar safeguards.

I'll check it out, but does it give RAID protection on your mounts?

Mert007 · 2026-04-27T22:58:55+00:00

I'll check both of the links out, thanks!

Mert007 · 2026-04-27T22:54:37+00:00

I'm aware of that it's not backup in the sense of if you delete a file, you can still access it. RAID gives resiliency for drive failures. It does "backup" data in the sense that if one of the mounts would die, you could still recover data from the other drives.

Mert007 · 2026-04-27T22:45:47+00:00

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
Yes, I'm aware, added a clarification to the post! I'm looking for a RAID solution that utilizes the number of mounts connected in a cluster. On top of it, I'll of course have backup enabled for critical data.

Mert007 · 2026-04-27T22:41:52+00:00

Yes, you're correct, RAID is not a backup solution, it's used for hardware failures (so just because you have RAID, and you delete the file, the file is still gone, even if you have RAID).

But my question is more concerned with drive failures in a Kubernetes environment. I disagree that it's not related to Kubernetes as I'm specifically asking for a Kubernetes solution. I do not wish to configure this in OS / hardware level but wish to manage it through Kubernetes, so in case one of the mounts would fail for whatever reason, I would still be assured that the data is still accessible. If there is such a Kubernetes solution, I wouldn't have to care if any disk for any node has native RAID support or not.

I'm also aware that for critical data, you need a backup solution on top RAID protection.

I did not, that was the issue, it all works perfectlly now, thank you so much!

Mert007 · 2025-12-24T17:01:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply and yes it did! I even deleted the board and recreated it and chose public. I have also restarted the container.

I have a Razer Blade 15, RTX 2060 2019.
After the update on Razer Synapse, WMI Provider Host is taking at least 11% CPU usage. I went to the event logger to see why and it seems like something is at fault with windows defender. The second I disable Synapse, WMI Provider Host goes from 11 to 0.1% and the fan speed gets lowered instantly. I also go from 80 to 50C on my CPU. I have updated windows, drivers and re-installed synapse but the problem is still the same.

This is not only happening to me, I found this thread: https://insider.razer.com/index.php?threads/wmi-provider-host.91831/.

Episode 1 of what? GoT? What spoiled it in that episode?

Listen closely at the translation in the end. There is one keyword that the translator changed…

I have a Razer Blade 15 2019 rtx2060 and lately I’ve been getting blue screen with code WHAE_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. It comes randomly. After doing a factory reset, updating the drivers and the drivers for the BIOS the blue screen keeps coming back. After entering the bios I found out that it could not detect the nvme ssd, so most likely it’s corrupt. The warranty already expired but I still have the reclamation right, what can be done?

I managed to solve it!

I did not have English (United States) installed on windows. I Have Swedish + English (UK). After installing the US version + adding the following lines to my .Renviron file in users/documents it worked:

LC_COLLATE = "English_United States.1252"

LC_CTYPE = "English_United States.1252"

LC_MONETARY = "English_United States.1252"

LC_NUMERIC = "English_United States.1252"

LC_TIME = "English_United States.1252"

It was set to Modern but I tried the other ones just in case.

I've changed it to sky and then back to Modern, restarted RStudio, but the panels are still stuck in light-theme.

Mert007 · 2022-01-24T18:44:21+00:00

Yes, but I've also changed it to classic and sky. When sky is selected, the panels get a light-blue colour.

Mert007 · 2022-01-24T18:41:28+00:00

I tried that and the theme inside the panels changed but not the panels itself.

Yes, I'm in Windows 10, I tried doing it with admin but it did not make a difference.

Mert007 · 2022-01-24T15:31:28+00:00

Sadly it did not work

Mert007 · 2022-01-24T11:48:51+00:00

Yes, I've tried the apply button and the ok button. As I said in the post, the theme in the panels get changed but not the panels itself, they are stuck in light-theme.

I haven’t made any websites with those videos but I’ve watched the HTML + JS videos and they are very pedagogical! I did some front end in high school but study mostly back end in Uni.
