I could use some help in figuring out what steps I need to take to solve a problem:
I want to install FreeBSD9 with a softraid mirrored option, but I want to make sure that I do not loose the information of the existing two drives that were mirrored via softraid while adding two more drives to the softraid array.
1. about four years ago my friend set up a FreeBSD7 box with software raid that mirrored 2 drives.
2. OS was on the separate drive
3. There were three disks total (1 OS, 2 identical for mirrored softRAID)
4. OS drive died two years ago and the system was just sitting there doing nothing
5. at some point it got an upgrade of two more disks that I couldn't figure out how to add to the RAID
6. so there are total of 5 disks now (1 new OS drive; 2 old softraid mirrored drives; 2 new drives that need to be a part of the softraid array)
