My system is actually installed on /dev/sda (a scsi drive) and the 3-device raid was added later with:

yes I remember you telling me this now...and something happened to that msg w/all the new vmware goin on here too...I dunno..
The external drive becomes /dev/sdb when connected and can be added with mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1
in my case would be sda1 2 3
I don't think you can do that in disk druid.
yes, this is one of your msgs that I lost...thx for this no gotta forget druid for this...
wondering if I should just dismantle the raid sys...and redo it as you did from the command line or...
seeing it's a brand new system...nothing really on it...just throw a fresh (choose auto for the partitions) then make the arrays.
I really would like to try to do what I'm trying to do just for the experience but lol I don't know who's gonna give out first me or raid...lol. It just seems hard to believe that this can't be done.
thx Les,
