Article aimed at general audience

[Bruce Miller]

Carla Schroder has posted an article on setting up a RAID10 array (with
LVM). I was one of the two readers who encouraged her to cover RAID10,
an idea that I got from lurking on this list.

It is good to have new articleis out there mentioning raid10.
I wrote her to mention our howto, and that swap should be on a raid,
and that raid10,f2 is much faster for reads than plain raid10.
Let's see if she takes it up.

By the way, our howto has made it from number 127 on google for "linux
raid" a few weeks ago, to number 6 today. I am quite please with this.

best regards
keld

I got as far as the point where she said that "RAID 10 is shorthand for 
RAID1+0, a mirrored striped array." Linux software raid10 involves both 
stripes and mirrors, but it isn't the same as 1+0 thank you. A little 
learning is a dangerous thing.
