Anyone using RAID of any type: hardware, md, LVM, Btrfs, ZFS, really need to be aware of drive SCT ERC and kernel SCSI command timer mismatches. The mismatch happens by default if you're using consumer hard drives, many of which now either have SCT ERC disabled by default or do not support it. This

One assumes that if you are migrating a filesystem to RAID, you are installing a new disk (for e.g. RAID 1) (you need multiple disks - as in the acoronym RAID). So, if you install your new disk alongside your existing disk, create a RAID mirror with only one partition (from the new disk) create
