This is something I was just thinking about last night for a new server
I am planning..
I would imagine to get RAID10 would require (assuming a 4 drive setup)
you to create 2 RAID1 mirror sets and then using those create a RAID0
stripe.. I haven't attempted this yet and don't even know if its
possible with software RAID yet.. Would be cool, performance and
redundancy.. :)
