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.
