for good overview it makes sense to label the harddisk partitions according to functionality (what is their purpose?)
GNU Linux bash – how to label partitions tune2fs (xfs & ext4)
… because maybe one wants to read their smart status.

warning!
just because “smart” says “passed” (everything okay) does not mean, the harddisk will fail, a few hours or a day after that “passed” message. (predictions based on smart are hard to do… but as soon as smart goes bad, one should swap harddisks immediately… or have spare RAID harddisks already preinstalled (would be best).
also important: simulate raid failure… what will happen if one pulls out one of two harddisks of RAID1?
how long is the rebuild time (multiple hours for 2TB and probably 2-3 Days for 4TB SATA drives).

(imho most external USB harddisks smart status can not be read)
