You cannot go from single to raid. Raid to single is pretty simple, altough
not fully clean.

Rip out one of the disks, and edit /etc/raidtab. Everywhere where it says
'nr of disks:2' change it to 'nr of disk1:1'
During boot the system will detect the raid superblocks and the lcd will
briefly claim a failed raid array, but the system will work nicely.

The good part is, it you ever want to go back you can re-install a *blank*
new disk and change all the 1's back to 2's :)

Bob.
