Well, there's two basic cases: 1) You have one device and you're adding a parity device - which is basically just creating a raid-1 mirror when you get down to it. 2) You have some collection of devices in a stripe/concat/whatever, and are adding a parity device. This only works if the existing stripe/concat is already functional *without* the parity device (which implies that said stripe or concat has to be an already-supported structure)
