Because I’m running a bunch of docker containers from inside the LVM and DockerDesktop is wonky ass software.

Also, I don’t want to think about having to worry about enabling a feature that can be locked behind a Windows Pro license when migrating to another system

Also, because you just now gifted me knowledge of this feature.

I just JBOD a bunch of random sized disks in various forms of enclosures (a 4-bay cheap piece of Chinese shit filled with 4 random sized HDDs harvested from dead PCs, a couple of USB-3 external laptop drives, two random sized SSDs in their own enclosures harvested from dead laptops) within a linux LVM using WSL2 to host all the drives using a VM of Debian running on a Windows PC.

I think I’ve kludged together approximately 20 Tb of total disk space, and all i need to do to enable Striped RAID on it all is wait for a refurbished single enormous NAS drive to go on sale on Amazon and enable RAID on the LVM as a separate volume.
