Sure, anything can be done with enough steps and work. There, one installs into non-raid and then sets up raid on the second disk, and rsyncs the data. So it's not converting a disk to raid, it's copying data to a 2nd raid disk and then copying back. To make this work, the raid metadata would have to be stored someplace else. That would be an interesting design, but it's not what rf did. These days, the zfs approach is more appealing.
