Yet, I can't setup the RAID 10 they talk about, I only have RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 & RAID6 in the setup options, which is why I'm thinking of doing this another way.
Then maybe there is something wrong with your partitioning scheme or even physical layout. What drives do you have and how are they partitioned? How are they physically connected? _______________________________________________
Sure, that's the first thing to check :)
I have 4x 250GB HDD's, and I partitioned them as follows:
/dev/sda1 - 100MB type software RAID /dev/sda2 - 4096MB type swap /dev/sda3 - 240GB type software RAID
/dev/sdb1 - 100MB type software RAID /dev/sdb2 - 4096MB type swap /dev/sdb3 - 240GB type software RAID
/dev/hdb1 - 100MB type software RAID /dev/hdb2 - 4096MB type swap /dev/hdb3 - 240GB type software RAID
/dev/hdd1 - 100MB type software RAID /dev/hdd2 - 4096MB type swap /dev/hdd3 - 240GB type software RAID
Now, from here I should have been able to create a RAID 10 device from /sda3, sdb3, hdb3, hdd3 - but RAID 10 isn't available.
