Yes you must do these steps when another volume is booted, as a mounted volume cannot be converted.]]></content:encoded>

Current booted Apple RAID 0 (disk0 and disk1) shows as unmounted (Unknown Format - disk3 Apple_CoreStorage ) and disk4 as CoreStorage Volume (Logical Volume on disk3). I'm correct? Is it possible expand volume after successful convert to SoftRAID 0? Before I had 2x1TB and now 2x2TB.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Will the convert function work with an existing Raid 10 array? I have 6 x 6TB drives in a raid 10 that i want to use SoftRaid to manage.  it was setup with AppleRaid using Disk Utility.  If i use the "Convert" function in SoftRaid 5.5 will it work?  will i lose my data?

I have 9TB of information so copying it over and recreating the array in SoftRaid is not an option.
