Hi Rasmus, you will first need to resize your md device. Using mdadm, that would be done with --grow (check the man, `mdadm /dev/md123 --grow --size=500G` should do the trick).
But that will leave your filesystem intact at the current size, so you'll have to resize the filesystem next. I know ext2&3 support "growing" but I don't know about other filesystems. However, since it's a simple raid one, you could create a new raid device with one drive, format it at 500G, copy the stuff over from the old raid1, drop the old raid1 device and add it to the new one.
