I have for a long time been wondering if it is possible to convert a 2
disk Raid-1 array to a  3 disk Raid-5 array using mdadm?

Tonight I stumbled upon this article:

http://www.n8gray.org/blog/2006/09/05/stupid-raid-tricks-with-evms-and-mdadm/

Is this safe / ok to do? Any comments from you mdadm experts?
