Is it possible to non-destructively migrate my RAID0+1 array from
2.0.30+raidtools 0.41 to 2.0.35+raidtools 0.90?

I tried "mkraid --upgrade"  with with a basic RAID1 array and it failed,
which required me to reinitialize the entire array, losing all data. (The
configuration was a RAID1 array using /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb). 

Well, now I am evaluating upgrading two systems that are using the old
painful raidtools to the newer versions (4 hours ckraids are killing me). 

So what I have are four 9G drives, two striped RAID0, then each set of two
is run RAID1. I would relaly like to preserve the data and do a mkraid
--upgrade on these. Is this something I can count on working? ( I do make
religious backups in case these type of things fail). 

/dev/md0 = /dev/sdb /dev/sdc RAID0
/dev/md1 = /dev/sdd /dev/sde RAID0
/dev/md2 = /dev/md0 /dev/md1 RAID1
