I think people were suggesting blanking each removed half of the array, prior to making the underlying block device encrypted, then adding and re-mirroring.
Wait, you're suggesting encrypting each drive separately, and then adding the result to a linux RAID device?
That's.... crazy, but it might even work.
Would be interesting to see what happens to performance considering you have to do a different encryption operation per drive of the RAID array.
Unfortunately it looks like it's impossible to convert an existing single drive to a RAID drive.. Or at least the instructions here do the good old copy from one to the other dance.
