I don't have any command line examples to give you, but I once used PartImage and GParted to successfully migrate a three disk RAID 0 NTFS filesystem on a Windows Small Business Server 2003 to a RAID 5. My friend set up the RAID 0 in eager anticipation of blazingly fast storage I/O, only later to realize that he had made the most important computer in his whole business three times more likely to fail unrecoverably. He asked if I could change it to a RAID 5 somehow. I used GParted to resize the filesystem so that it was definitely smaller than the eventual RAID 5 would be. I then used PartImage to image the NTFS filesystem into a file on a large FireWire drive. I used the RAID controller's BIOS to reconfigure the RAID 0 to be a RAID 5, then used PartImage to restore the filesystem from the FireWire drive onto the RAID. Finally I used GParted once again to grow the filesystem to use all of the available space. And it actually worked! I was so dumbfounded. Our Dear Friend Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 did not appear to notice anything had happened at all. As an added benefit, my friend was left with a full backup on that FireWire drive.
