The snipped output below seems to suggest that there's two SATA disks that are
partitioned with one partition each. These partitions across devices form a
2-leg RAID1 array via md/mdadm.

That RAID1 array itself is in use as a Physival Volume for LVM2, and it hosts
a Volume Group with a Logical Volume at /dev/mapper/vg_raid1-root that you
want to resize.

With these assumptions verified, the operation you are about to execute seems
perfectly safe to me. You can even make `lvresize` perform the fs resizing for
you, and shorten the whole ordeal to just

  # lvresize --size +50GB --resizefs /dev/mapper/vg_raid1-root

Godspeed, and remember to always keep working backups handy regardless! ;)
