Since I'm planning to change my disk layout, I'd like to switch to RAID level 10. But when configuring current 2.6.33 stable kernel, I found RAID 10 marked experimental. Why is this that case? I normally do not tend to ignore the "EXPERIMENTAL" warning; in fact, my current "home server" kernel does not include any single item marked as experimental. I've googled around before bugging the ML and found several others asking questions along the line "can I use MD RAID 10 right now?", with answers like "it works for me so far." I, on the contrary, would like to know what issues prevent RAID 10 from getting the "experimental" KConfig tag removed. TIA!
