File System Upgrade

I am working my way thru upgrading my server from ReiserFS to XFS, following the steps in the "File System Conversion" Document.

 

I have 3 data drives(14/12/10) and a new 18TB drive formatted as XFS.

 

So far I have

1. Emptied the 14TB Drive using UnBalance

2.  Stopped the Array

3.  New Config to Preserve

4. Changed positions of the swap drive and the Reiser data drive I emptied.

5.  Start Array with the "Parity is Valid" option.

 

Now I am ready to start emptying the 12TB Data Drive to the 14TB Swap Drive.

At this point I need to format the Empty 14TB Drive as XFS.  How do I do this while it's already in the array?
