[TriLUG] add device to raid1

Dear list,

I have a software raid1 array setup with n devices, but I'd like to add 
a device to have n+1 active devices, not n active devices plus 1 spare 
device.  Using mdadm to add the device results in new spare drive.  Is 
it possible to change the number of active raid devices in a raid array?

Thanks,
Michael
