no, no no :)
Install the second disk (hdc) build it as md1 RAID1 with a 'missing' disk this time copy the data over from md0 get rid of md0 add the first disk as the missing disk it will sync
don't do it again

I've looked into raidreconf, but apparently it can only do operations on RAID levels 0 and 5.

My guess is you configured the RAID1 array as having 1 disk. Now if you add
more disks to it, they are spares. You should have configured the array as
having 2 disks, with 1 missing. Then when you add a disk, it will re-build
to it.
Read about raidreconf. Google it, if needed! It may allow you to modify a
RAID1 array. I know it allows you to add a disk to a RAID5 array, but don't
know about RAID1. I have never used this tool.

I have a system with two 40GB drives, and the first drive (hda) is setup under an md device with RAID1 driving it. I'm trying to now make the second disk, hdc, a mirror of the first. When I try to add it using mdadm the second disk becomes a spare and no synchronization is done. Is there any way to add the second disk directly as a mirror? Thanks.
