Ok, so is it possible to build such an array?
Yes.
I have 3 empty disks and 1 full of data. I would like to use the 3 disks to build the array, copy the data from the full one into the array and then add the now empty disk. I read something of "degraded" arrays, but I haven't seen a self-explanatory howto about this anywhere.
Install mdadm (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/) and read the mdadm manpage (search for 'To create a "degraded" array').
