Not sure when the capability was added, but the Windows Server
versions' ability to convert a standard single NTFS volume to dynamiic
and then add a RAID mirror is really quite nice.  And unlike the linux
counterparts it works on the fly with full backwards compatibility.
You don't have to load some fuse module to hook up some experimental
filesystem with some new bizarre configuration syntax and figure out a
different way to boot it.
