Breaking a mirrored drive
______________________________________________________________________
Is there a way in Linux to break a mirror, and then use the drive that
was broken for some new partition (example: /home). FC3 and FC4. I am
running out of space and I am finding the RAID 1 is no longer desired.
You can use 'mdadm --fail ...', then 'mdadm --remove ...' to take
it out of the raid which will continue working fine with only a
single member. Be sure to change the partition type when you
re-use it so the system won't try to auto-detect and map it
back in when you boot up.
