I'm not sure why (regardless of OS) you wouldn't just break the raid, 
install the new disk, partition it large, copy the files over, then put 
in the other big disk and mirror it out again. If anything goes wrong, 
you have the original drive you broke off the RAID to start over with.

In both Linux and Windows, it's easy to copy all the files from a 
smaller partition to a larger partition without a problem. Why make it 
difficult by trying to use RAID hardware to copy files? Especially since 
you'll wind up waiting for it to copy free space and everything.
