What RAID level.
You can break RAID-1, and it'll keep working. It'll complain it's
missing part of the array, but it will still work.
mdadm has a fail (mdadm -f /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 or something) option that
will allow you to fake a failed drive, then you can use mdadm to take it
out of the array.

Hi All
My system has two scsi disks that are software RAIDED together and
mounted.
I also have a third disk which has a bootable linux OS.
My question is..
Can I safely break the software mirror between the first two scsi
disks without losing data on the first disk so that I can use the
second disk for something brand new?
Thanks for any advice?!
Sincerely
DAn
