Les, I have used SME Server 7.3 for a long time, with great success
which runs on CentOS 4.7, so I would like to be able todo it with SME
as well, since it doesn't support RAID 10.

I have tried mdam in the shell, but was told RAID 10 wasn't supported.
I forgot the exact messages, but it was something like "invalid RAID
level". I could set RAID 5 & 6 though.
