It is exactly "standard" - when you create it with default settings
and with even number of drives (2, 4, 6, 8, ...), it will be exactly
"standard" raid10 (or raid1+0, whatever) as described in various
places on the net.
But if you use odd number of drives, or if you pass some fancy --layout
option, it will look differently. Still not suitable for lilo or
grub, at least their current versions.
