I've done quite a bit of reading about setting up raid 1 with raidtools but
have not found the answer to my situation.
I have an 80GB hd which is almost full and have got hold of a second hd of the
same size and I now want to mirror the first on the second with raid 1.
Problem is all the hints, advice, and, howtos seem to assume your starting
with blank discs and get you to format both of them when you're setting up
raid 1.
Is it possible to set up one half of the raid 1 array and then copy my present
data to that, whereupon I could reformat the (presently almost full) disc and
incorporate it into the raid 1 array? Is that question clear? I hope so!
