This page from openfiler.com clearly states the following:
"Openfiler supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10."
The page even shows the dialog box to create a RAID 10 group! _______________________________________________
What I could gather, is that the particular setup is only available one I have it setup, meaning I can't have RAID 10 running on the underlying OS.
I don't know if this makes sense, but to get their RAID10, I first need to install it, then use the web interface to setup RAID 10. Instead I would like to have openfiler running on the RAID 10 setup as well.
You are probably better off if you don't mix the installed OS with the partitions you want to export, so you would use a small raid1 for the OS, then add everything else after it is up and running. I'd do it that way for other distributions too, even if I eventually want /home or /var on different raid partitions. It is easy enough to mount the new space under a temporary name, copy over the existing contents, rename the old directories and set up fstab to mount the new ones when you reboot.
