Hello,
I was attempting to remove 1 disk from a 4 disc raid to copy the data off it and destroy the raid completely.  But instead when i clicked delete, the raid was destroyed.  I still have both halves of it.  (Two sets of two drives with mirrored data or the striped raid).  How can i tell mac os x leopard to take these two "mirror sets" and put them into a striped set?

this was a raid 10

i presume something using:
diskutil command
createRAID mirror|stripe|concat setName format devices ...
                Create a new RAID set consisting of multiple disks and/or RAID
                sets.  setName is used for both the name of the created RAID
                volume and the RAID set itself (as displayed in listRAID).
                e.g. 'diskutil createRAID stripe MyArray JHFS+ disk1 disk2
                disk3 disk4'.  Ownership of the affected disks is required.

diskutil listRAID returns:
RAID SETS

edit:
I rebooted and disk utility is showing me this.
I then clicked on one of the raid groups and made it look like the screenshot, however when i click create it wants to erase all the data, this isn't what i want.

Any ideas?
