Theoretical answer (warning: haven't tried it myself!): If you're using
persistent superblock, the raid driver should still recognice the disks and
use them correctly after moving things around. You should take care to
update your /etc/raidtab to reflect your changes in case you ever have to
recreate your superblocks from the raidtab file.
