CentOS docs - Apr 2009 - HowTo/RAID/convert non-RAID CentOS 5 system to software RAID1 using rescue mode

Does documentation exist describing how to convert a simple, single disk 
non-RAID CentOS 5 system to software RAID1 using the CentOS install CD/DVD 
as a rescue disk?

  (Assuming not) Is there a need for such?

  (Assuming need) I volunteer to produce it.

Maybe you could get in contact with Phil Schaffner who is currently
writing a SoftwareRaidonCentOS HowTo:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SoftwareRAIDonCentOS5

We should first clear this up a bit.

Then we could create a new page for non-RAID to RAID migration.

  If/when a page is created, would HowTos/RAID/CentOS5-rescue-convert2RAID 
be a good document name?

  I'm advocating the creation of a new section labelled RAID...
