    Hello,

    I currently have a machine which has a single hard drive, non RAID'd,
    running RH8.0.

    I would like to add a second hard drive and turn it into a soft-RAID1
    (mirrored) machine.

    Is this possible, or will I have to rebuild the machine, partitioning the
    disk as RAID partitions this time, instead of normal partitions?

    If this is possible without repartitioning the hard drive and reinstalling
    redhat, could you let me know how?

    Thanks in advance,
    Hobbs.
