[ale] raid 1

[Yu, Jerry]

Solaris ODS can do it that way, namely "to encapsulate an existing data disk
(file system) as a submirror of a meta device". Not sure Linux's raid tool
can do the same.

# I am using Linux software raid and have my setup like this:
# 
# /dev/hda1  + /dev/hdb1 as RADI1.
# 
# Is it possible to populate /dev/hda1 then convert it into a raid as
# /dev/md0 without trashing the data?  I'm working on a restore DVD and
# the background raid processes is slowing down the restore.  I would
# prefer to restore first then turn on the raid.
