Hm. This is vaguely intersting to me, as soon I'm going to be moving 8
drives off one server (arranged as 2 md RAID5's, 4 drives each) into a
server which already has 4 drives fitted... (configured as various md
RAID1 and RAID5 devices)

Should I expect any problems? Can I degrade an existing running set into
non persistent superblock mode to facilitate with this move?
