now the next step.. that's a raid1 array.. is it possible to grow the

Yes, there's no problem with running RAID1 arrays with more than two
mirrors (with md anyway) - they're all identical so it doesn't really
make any difference how many you have.

ok.. it's rebuilding.. I started with md0.. I'll wait it finishes and
then do md1(8GB) and after that, md2(almost 2TB).. for now it seems to
be going well, isn't it?
