Topic: Help with RAID

[basmistry]

I have 2 disks (hda/hdb) as RAID 1

I have also added a 2 x data disks SDA and SDB (with just 1 partion on them)

SDA stuff was expendible so I've cleared it !

Can I create a RAID-1 without destroying data ??

with something like:

mdadm --create /dev/md3 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sda1

Hi basmistry,
Have a look at http://wiki.contribs.org/AddExtraHardDisk

This shows how to add 2 extra hard disks, make them a RAID1 volume, then mount the new volume - several different options for mounting the array are given.

Hope it helps.
