That should work; personally I've never really got on with mdadm so I
would do:

# raidhotremove /dev/md0 /dev/hdb2 
# raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/hdb2

If no errors are shown then monitor progress with:

# watch cat /proc/mdstat

- assuming hda2 pairs with hdb2 (if you're not sure, lookin /etc/raidtab to
see).

You might also want to consider putting the two drives on separate IDE
controllers for (much) better performance - but maybe leave that for
another day...
