Terry, If you have the ability and the power and space in the chassis, i'd just add in the four new drives, set them up in their RAID10 format, then just do a 'pvmove' to migrate all our currently LVs from the old 1Tb RAID10 setup to the new one. No fuss, no muss and you can keep the system online while doing it. You will of course need to add in the new disks into the VG, but that's simple to do. Once all the data is moved off the old disks, you can then remove them from the VG and then shutdown the MD device ,and then remove the disks from the system. Let me know if you need more details, I glossed over a bunch here.
