Keeping existing RAID6's safe during upgrade from CentOS 6 to CentOS 8

Hey everyone,

I have a quick and (hopefully) easy question...


At some point, I'm going to update my CentOS 6.10 system to CentOS 8.x

My biggest concern is dealing with the mdadm based RAID6 that holds my important data.

SO.... What's the safest thing I could do to protect it when I do the upgrade (which is essentially a fresh install of v8)

I'm assuming I should:

* copy /etc/mdadm.conf someplace
* copy /etc/fstab someplace (for reference more than anything)
* PULL THE DRIVES FROM THE SYSTEM.

* Once the new OS is installed, plug the drives back in.
* Patch mdadm.conf and fstab as needed ..... and.....

Anything else?

Thanks a bunch,

 -Ben
