Actually, later models of linux have a direct RAID-10 level built in.
I haven't used it.  Not sure how it would look in /proc/mdstat either.

I think I actively block memory of that because the UI on it is so cryptic and it's been historically much more buggy than the simpler RAID0/RAID1 implementaions. But you're right that it's completely possible Ow used it. Would explain not being able to figure out what's going on too.

There's a good example of what the result looks like with failed drives in one of the many bug reports related to that feature at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/285156 and I liked the discussion of some of the details here at http://robbat2.livejournal.com/231207.html

The other hint I forgot to mention is that you should try:

mdadm --examine /dev/XXX

For each of the drives that still works, to help figure out where they fit into the larger array. That and --detail are what I find myself using instead of /proc/mdstat , which provides an awful interface IMHO.
