Thanks for the advice, can someone point me to a good step by step how to per setting up a RAID 10 volume per the parted & GPT tools?
You might find this usefull, text on official CentOS Facebook group. GPT is separate from RAID's, so GPT is not covered, but RAID part should be the same: https://www.facebook.com/notes/centos/software-raid-on-rhel-6/10151254589767...

For RAID10 I suggest far 2, and boot regular raid1
Creating Boot RAID1: [root@kancelarija]# mdadm --create /dev/md9 --level=1 --raid-disks=2 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 --metadata=0.90
Creating RAID10 far,2:
[root@kancelarija]# mdadm --create /dev/md9 --level=10 --layout=f2 --raid-disks=2 /dev/sdd9 /dev/sde9
