Well the reason why I didn't make it raid 0 because if one of the
disks were to go bad then my whole raid would go down right? Can you
give me the steps on how to make my md1 device a raid 0 without
reformatting my whole system? I don't think I can stop md1 unless I
stop all the md devices above it right? (md2/3/4/5)

Thanks,
