Mdraid10 actually allows for a 3 drive raid10 set. It isn't raid10 per say but a raid level based on distributing copies of chunks around the spindles for redundancy.
Isn't this what they call RAID 1e (RAID 1 Enhanced), which needs a minimum of 3 drives?
This seems to me a much better name for it than calling it "RAID 10"...

Yes it is Raid-1E. This is explicitly documented in the link that Karanbir provided... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_RAID_levels#Linux_MD_RAID_10
