Brandon, I have played with software raid several times. 1) If you are looking for your whole system in a mirrored state, it's tricky but possible. 2) if you want to build a new mirrored /home that is easier.
1- you can do a reinstall and manually do the partitioning in yast. you will need two equal partitions for /boot but not as mirrors the second is a place holder for rescue and recovery, and two set up as a "linux raid" for each of the sections you want mirrored, i.e, two for swap, two for /, while remembering not to touch your current /home but creating an equal partition for it to raid to later. I would recommend creating a mirrored /srv partition with as much space as you have in /home now when the system is running you can copy your /home into the new /srv in a folder like /srv/storage and then delete and recreate a new linux raid partition for /home. 2- create a software raid using the free space on your current disk and the new disk and mount it as /storage or /vol1 or ....
