10b. convert existing filesystem to RAID 1 in-place
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In-place conversion of /dev/sda1 to /dev/md0 is effectively
mdadm --create /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/sda1 missing
however, do NOT do this, as you risk filesystem corruption.

If you need to do this, first unmount and shrink the filesystem by
a megabyte (if supported). Then run the above command, then (optionally)
again grow the filesystem as much as possible.
