Question about GParted and a software RAID

[Cerpin Taxt]

I have a system with 2x200GB IDE drives in a software RAID 0 array under Xubuntu.

In a perfect world, I would be able to remove enough data from the array such that I could push all the remaining data (i.e. < 200GB) over to only 1 of the disks and then remove the 2nd emptied disk from the array without corrupting the data on the remaining disk.

Is there any way I can use GParted to do this? I haven't even booted the LiveCD yet to see the options available to me, but I was just wondering if anybody around here could tell me if I should even bother trying it. If GParted won't do it, is there another utility that can?

Thanks in advance.

No, GParted can not manage RAID arrays (creation, disk configuration, spares, repair, deletion). It can only manage partitions on RAID arrays which appear to it like regular drives.

To manage RAID arrays you have to use mdadm.

I'm not sure if there is anything to do what you are talking about.
