I'm running out of room in a box to add drives, so I want to go to
larger drives. Unfortunately I have but one bay left. What I would like
to do is put in a single drive, create a raid-10f2 array with a missing
device, and copying all of the data off the existing arrays onto the
raid-10 array, then diddling the boot so I can get up off the new drive,
removing the old drives, adding another new drive and adding that to the
array, along with a spare, perhaps.
Any particular problems with that plan? It leaves the existing drives
intact, and critical data is backup via rsync on both a removable device
and to network storage.
