I'm about to do something similar on an ext2 system (I don't know how much it varies from one to the other) and I have this link http://www.winamp.com/components/detail.jhtml?componentId=123836 That I found googling "linux software raid howto." There are several versions of this howto out there, but this particular one has a section that is geared towards RAIDing a non-raid system. If you look around you'll find some other methods suggested as well. I haven't tried this out yet (I'm setting up a box to "practice" on before I do it on my actual router/webserver/mailserver to be safe). Let me know how it goes!
