I have CentOS 4.x installed on a single 500GB SATA drive. Drive is about 10 percent used. I would like to migrate to software RAID 5 without reinstalling the OS. Was thinking 3 500GB drives. Is that possible or must I reinstall?
Moving to RAID-1 is going to be fairly easy. Moving to RAID-5 or RAID-6 will be a good bit trickier.
The more I hear I am thinking moving to RAID-1 would be fine. Is there a basic howto somewhere for that?
Thanks.
Matt
