md supports a built-in RAID10. RAID10 is not RAID1+0, but it is similar. RAID10 can be used with an odd number of disks and is a single array. RAID1+0 is a single RAID0 made of 2 or more RAID1 arrays. I have never used them, so I can't recommend one over the other. Some people have problems with RAID1+0, seems the Kernel tries to assemble the RAID0 array before the RAID1 arrays. Maybe not on every system. RAID10 is somewhat new, so may not have had much testing. I don't recall anyone posting comments on RAID10. Maybe we need some success stories for RAID10 and RAID1+0 mounted on "/".
