Whether or not it was designed to create a Raid5/raid10, it allows the

My guess is that software Raid10 is still in the eats its children
stage. Most of the time I found it reliable, but I remember the kernel
developers having lots of race condition problems at times. In a
limited memory install region that is anaconda.. these might creep up
more often to be only supported by hand.
Well it's not even supported by hand. Anaconda flat out refuses to let
you use it. Even when I create the device by hand (be it by loading the
raid10 module manually and doing mdadm, or by making 2 raid1's and
putting a raid0 on top of them), anaconda just flat out refuses to see
the final device.

I don't think anaconda will support it or raid 6 for the foreseeable future.
You have to throw up an upstream complaint, and I doubt you would see anything
till Fedora Core 8 or so. RedHat's stance seems to be that if you need that
kind of reliability, buy hardware raid that does raid 10
Anaconda does now support raid6. The only reason I didn't go with it is
that I heard that performance would be very bad on it.
