That's not really a shortcut, per se. RAID10 in Linux is not necessarily similar to RAID1+0. The default, "near" layout is the classic 1+0 layout, but other modes of operation are supported by the RAID10 driver.
Thanks for the clarification. Close enough though, for my intended use!
You mention modes however. I don't recall seeing any particular info on that.
Care to elaborate a bit on that, if it's not too OT?
Besides, I haven't found any way to fail a member disk, as is possible
to do
when using RAID level 10.
If you built a RAID0 array of RAID6 arrays, then you'd fail a disk by marking it failed and removing it from whichever RAID6 array it was a member of, in the same fashion as you'd remove it from any other array type.
Aha, thanks!
