some confusion here, perhaps. I've noticed that many hardware raid controllers use "raid1" to refer to both raid-1 (2 disks mirrored) and raid-10 (2*N disks mirrored and striped).
with 4 disks in a single raid, you would actually have a raid-10, which is two mirror sets striped together). after building the raid in the disk controller (or if its not a hardware controller, building a software raid with mdadm), you would create a new file system on it with mkfs, then mount it as a directory (adding it to /etc/fstab for permanent use) so you could start putting files on it. I often mount my 'aux' file systems as /u10, /u11, ...
