Convert RAID5 to RAID5?

From: Robin Bowes <hidden>

OK,

Based on some comments I've received following my previous post about 
large storage arrays, and having read around a bit, I think my 6-disk 
1TB array would be better as RAID6 rather than RAID5 plus hot spare.

Is it possible to convert from RAID5 to RAID6? Or would I have to dump 
the whole array to tape, trash it, create the RAID6 array and restore 
from tape?

Thanks,

R.
