In an old PC I have 4 HDs in RAID 0+1.
I want to modify the configuration and reduce the HDs 
from 4 to 2 and the RAID from 0+1 to 1 (mirror only)

First problem is that I'm not sure which of the HDs are 
dedicated to striping and which to mirror (they are 
identical drives) so I  cannot identify them.

Second problem is that I would like to have the data only 
in 2 HDs (mirror only) and don't know the way to get this. 
There is still  plenty of space in all drives so this is not 
going to be a problem.

The only solution I can imagine is to copy/move all files 
on a separate external drive, removing two of the 4 drives, 
and rebuilding the array only with mirror.
Can you suggest a better way?
