I have CentOS 4.x installed on a single 500GB SATA drive. Drive is
about 10 percent used. I would like to migrate to software RAID 5
without reinstalling the OS. Was thinking 3 500GB drives. Is that
possible or must I reinstall?

You will have to reinstall because if you add two more 500GB drives to make
your set up into a three drive horse, you then need to format each drive
and synchronise them together creating the new logical RAID volume so no
data can be kept on said disks prior to the creation of the RAID.
HTH!

Say goodbye to whole-disk based RAID solutions and hello to
next generation sub-disk RAID solutions, dramatically
