[PVE-User] Installations Feedback

[ijez]

Hi,

TQ for your reply, i'll try to follow your guide, but it's really sad that software RAID is not support. I have using it in all of my CentOS installations without any problem. My hardware didn't come with hardware RAID.

Anyway thanks you for your support.

Thanks and Regards,
