Hopefully you have a backup system, so you can use that when it is time.

I understand that softraid has a limitation where I cannot add disks to a raid5 later. But can I create 4 volumes in the 2 disks, and then later when I add another disk, simply move one of the volumes from one disk to the new one? And then resize accordingly
