Need a little help with Software Raid 1

Need a little help with Software Raid 1

[Marc Perkel]

I have a partition that used to be part of a software
raid 1 array. It is now loaded as /dev/sda3 but I'd
like to mirror it to /dev/sdb3 without losing the data
on the drive. I'm a little nervous about how to set it
up as I don't want to wipe out the data.

How do I do this? Using FC6 and up 2 date software.

Thanks in advance.

Create a degraded raid1 on /dev/sdb3, mount the degraded raid1, copy the
data over from /dev/sda3 to the degraded raid1, umount /dev/sda3 and add
it to the degraded raid1 to make it non-degraded.

	With kind regards, Sander
