Can I port mdadm volumes to hardware raid?I'm retiring an old server which uses mdadm volumes but the volumes are coming onto the new server which has hardware raid capability.  Can I plug the disks and go or will I need to cp everything over?  The disks are fine and the content is still required.

SoftRaid and Hardware raid have nothing than conceptual common things related to redundancy.There isn't a magical tool that could strip mdadm peculiarities, since with hardware raid(not fakeraid) a disk will be presented to you as /dev/sdX and not 2 or more disks to be configured as /dev/mdXto be managed by the kernel.You will have to sync data between disks.
