My understanding is that you can have a linux raid10 of only 2
drives, while the standard RAID 1+0 requires 4 drives, so this is a huge
difference.
I am not sure what vanilla linux raid10 (near=2, far=1)
has of properties. I think it can run with only 1 disk, but I think it
does not have striping capabilities. It would be nice to have more
info on this, eg in the man page.
Is there an official web page for mdadm?
And maybe the raid faq could be updated?
best regards
