Although mdadm will. A simple solution is to create the array with only |
| 15 |
the second disk as the initial member and designate the other device as |
| 16 |
literally "missing". The array will function in degraded mode. Then it |
| 17 |
is simply a matter of copying over the data from the original filesystem |
| 18 |
on the first disk, after which it may be (destructively) added to the array. |
