Re: Breaking a mirror
if you mean software mirroring, made with LVM, you will retain your data.
you have to issue, for each mirrored lvol, the command:
lvextend -m 0 /dev/vgXX/lvolYY
The mirror will be deleted, and the space gained almost immediatly.
HTH,
Massimo

Re: Breaking a mirror
I don't remember what array controllers had what capabilities (i.e. if you're using a DL380G1 then you have a ROC controller, if you're using a G2 then you have a SmartArray 5i), but some arrays have the ability to "migrate" array types.
If you can migrate your RAID array from a RAID 1 to a RAID 0, then you would get to keep your data intact as well as gain back the "extra" disk space.
If you cannot, then I don't know of any way other than a backup and restore. Backup your data, change your RAID array, then restore.
