Was planning to adding a hot spare to my 3 disk raid5 array and was thinking if I go to 4 drives I would be a better off as 2 raid1 arrays considering the current state of raid5.

If you think that is wrong please speak up now :)

Thinking I would make a raid1 array for /.
The rest of the first pair and the second pair of disks raid1 and tie together with lvm2.


Can easily fit what I have so far on 1 drive so figure I could build the first 2 raids on it them copy from the current degraded array.

Just wonder what happens to the md sequence when I remove the original raid arrays?
When I'm done will I have md0,md1 and md2 or md2,md3 and md4?
