I am not on the list. If I have a RAID1 of 2 disks and I decide to move them to another computer and recreate the raid, does it really need to do the initial recovery? For that matter, when creating a RAID1 on 2 disks, is it really needed to do the initial recovery? I understand why it's needed for RAID4/5/6 though.
