What do you mean by "real raid 5". Two disks are just as much an
array as 10.
What do you mean by "direct". If I understand your requirements
correctly, there are two obvious steps.
1/ make the data appear in a raid5
2/ change the number of devices in the raid5.
Are two steps too many?
I guess I don't understand your question.
