Hi all,

I am running a home-grown Linux 2.6.20.11 SMP 64-bit build, and I am 
wondering if there is indeed a RAID 10 "personality" defined in md that 
can be implemented using mdadm. If so, is it available in 2.6.20.11, or 
is it in a later kernel version? In the past, to create RAID 10, I 
created RAID 1's and a RAID 0, so an 8 drive RAID 10 would actually 
consist of 5 md devices (four RAID 1's and one RAID 0). But if I could 
just use RAID 10 natively, and simply create one RAID 10, that would of 
course be better both in terms of management and probably performance I 
would guess. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Thomas
