It looks like built-in RAID didn’t land in this version, which means we’re another 3-5 years from anything that actually works like ZFS or btrfs which are LVM + RAID + filesystem.

According to the docs, you have to lay Stratis over MDRAID in EL8 to get storage redundancy:

Snapshots with Stratis appear to work more sanely than in LVM2, so that’s something, at least.
