[OT] RAID

I know the subject comes up from time to time.................



Just a theoretical question. Here is the scenario:



Current server is SATA, no raid and one 80gb system drive.



Need/want to upgrade to RAID 5.



So if a RAID card is added and a further 3 more drives are bolted in.

Will the raid (or software) config be clever enough to start spanning
over the 4 drives?

Then could the original 80gb drive be retired.



How do I know the answer to that is going to be 'no' :-).



In other words go from 'no raid' to 'raid 5' without having to copy the
system partition or re-load the OS.



Rob
