Hi,

I currently have a 5.7 box, with 2 disk RAID1 (comprise of sd1a and sd2a)

Suppose I upgrade / install to 5.9. Is it possible for me to do the following:

bioctl -O /dev/sd2a sd3 # degrade the raid1 (sd3)
bioctl -c 5 -l /dev/sd1a,/dev/sd2a,/dev/sd4a -O /dev/sd1a softraid0 #
create a raid 5 with sd1a, sd2a and sd4a, but sd1a is degraded,
suppose that creates sd5

<copy stuff from RAID1 to RAID5>
bioctl -d sd3
bioctl -R /dev/sd1a sd5 # swap the sd1a back into  the raid5

Is that possible? or should I be finding another 3TB drive, copy the
stuff onto that temporary drive and create the RAID5?

Thanks,
Benton Lam
