Here's my current hardware: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4 GB RAM 120 GB IDE 3 x 750 SATA
What I'd like to do (please don't ask why) is install Ubuntu 9.10 on the 120 GB IDE, then set up a RAID 10 array with the remaining drives. Stop right there! Yes, I know I'd need four drives for that. So, I want to know if I can either set up two drives as RAID 0 or RAID 1, then later add a fourth drive and without data loss, migrate over to RAID 10. Or set it up as RAID 10 initially with a "failed" (missing) fourth drive, then add the drive later and "repair" the RAID 10 array.
Any hope?
