If a drive dies, you replace that drive, whereas if you partition the drives you have to partition it exactly right, and then add the partitions as replacements for each array you've created. I think that's a hassle.

Is there any problem with installing CentOS directly on an array in
RAID10, as opposed to on to "regular" partitions?
