[CoLoCo] SATA RAID controller

[Jim Hutchinson]

Okay, one more question. I have a software raid setup right now but it's not
working. One disk is fine and has my working install but the second disk is
not mirroring - it's empty. So I have md0 and md1. Can I plug these in as is
into the sata raid controller and bingo? Or will I have to reformat and
reinstall?

Thanks,
-jim
