Ok, so is it possible to build such an array?
I have 3 empty disks and 1 full of data. I would like to use the 3 disks to build the array, copy the
data from the full one into the array and then add the now empty disk. I read something of "degraded"
arrays, but I haven't seen a self-explanatory howto about this anywhere.
