hear me out.
i have a raid1 array atm on my main computer. it's a bios raid. (ICH9R)
i'm considering switching the motherboard to an AMD. (SB 720? i think). from what i can tell, it wont migrate. though the only article i could find on the matter is relatively old.
not that it matters, i dont really want to migrate it. i want to encode the contents of the array with truecrypt, and that's kind of hard to do if the array is already populated.
so what i'm thinking of doing, is splitting the array and running both arrays in degraded mode while i build up the new machine. (probably install some old OS on the main machine while i install everything on the new machine.....) then robocopy /mir the share into the truecrypt volume.
so.. is it possible to build an array in degraded mode?
then of course having copied all data onto the new degraded array, i would rebuild the array on the new machine.
