In my 4 drive system, I'm clearly not getting 1+0's ability to use grub 
out of the RAID10.  I expect it's because I used 1.2 superblocks (why 
not use the latest, I said, foolishly...) and therefore the RAID10 -- 
with even number of drives -- can't be read by grub. If you'd patch that 
information into the man pages that'd be very useful indeed.

Thanks for your attention to this!
