SOLVED Drop a drive from a volume and use as redundancy

[Robert Thomspon]

Hey guys... Im guessing the answer is a no from the short period of time I put into researching this... but:
I have 5 5TB drives on 1 volume for a total of just shy of 25TBs of storage... Is it possible to drop 1 of the 5 drives and add it as a redundancy drive? That is, without dumping all data, and rebuilding the cluster? Or is that pretty much the only way to do what I want (FYI, I'm only using about 9TB of storage as of now)...

It has to be dumped and rebuilt. The only other way to add redundancy would be to add 5 more drives and make each mirror one of the original 5.
