Scott,
yes, we all owe the CentOS project in some way...
thing is, IDFR if we have ever been fully updated on the Open Letter
problem(s) with
the "we" that we speak of is "our" organization, *not* of or for CentOS and
it's assigns
we believe that CentOS could do more and that (humble opinion) the CentOS
team should be financially compensated fairly for their efforts on all of
our behalf...

Luis,
backup the data on the machine just in case
then put the other 4 disks in. they should all be identical to each other,
or identical in pairs. (our preference)
they do not have to be identical to the first pair...
reboot and deal with the HP hardware raid controller setup of the disk

the FAQ suff is a good idea...
in fact, when people singup, they should have to agree to list rules or be

used to be super easy to upgrade spamassassin on CentOS dist.
just grab the tarball and put in right spot and
rpmbuild -tb spamassassin-3.somethingsomething.tar.gz
then rpm or yum install and done
would take just a few minutes.
