RAID edits

• Enter the system setup menu at boot time, then you also have to press additional keys to get to the RAID screen
• create a new virtual disk and assign the new disks, then initialize the VD

Mounting the new VD

• find the disk with fdisk -l | grep '^Disk'
• create a partition table
  • fdisk /dev/sdb
  • p to list partition table if any
  • n to create a new partition
  • w to write the new partition
• format the new partition with mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
• create an access folder, maybe at //mnt/backup
• run the mount mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/backup
• edit fstab by adding //dev/sdb1 /mnt/backup ext4 defaults 1 2
• somehow in the process an new systemctl service module is loaded based on fstab at runs at boot
