Moving to raid0

I want to remove one HDD i have in an LVM, and use it with my current hard drive in a raid0.

Is there a process in which I can store a copy of my root HDD in the lvm, format the two drives for raid0, and image the root partition back?

LVM snapshots is what you want.

my root partition isn't in an LVM. Guess i should of been more clear.

I guess I'm kinda scared to follow the RAID wiki, but also mix in trying to restore a previous partition, and the restore messing up grub, etc...


So can I just backup my partitions, and follow the wiki to install a fresh arch on the raid0, then just cp everything back?
