Thanks. I already started with this conversion, so this "--layout=preserve" is not an option for me any more. But good to know that this conversion should work. But its slow - it'll take approx. 4 days with my 2TB drives.

Also, layout=preserve I guess would make it not a proper RAID6 but a RAID5 with a parity disk. This is not optimal long-term.

The time you mention is normal I'd say.
