If you have 4 drives, I think the right thing is to use a raid1 with 4
drives, for your /boot partition. Then yo can survive that 3 disks
crash!


If you want the extra performance, then I think you should not bother
too much for the kernel and initrd load time - which of cause is not
striping on the disks, but some performance improvement can be expected.
Then you can have the rest of /root on a raid10,f2 with 4 disks.
