Oops... my faul Neil, sorry for that. I must have been reading the man page
for an older version. It's all well documented in 2.6.2. I apologize
again...
Tomas
P.S. And I almost forgot - thanks for creating mdadm! It's a powerful stuff
for sure. I will soon be playing with it in a live environment...which,
looking at all the options and reading the documentation, makes me somewhat
scared :)

It doesn't actually even mention the possibility to create a RAID-10
array
(without creating RAID-0 on top of RAID-1 pairs), yet from the info I
found,
a lot of people have been using it for quite a while. Almost as if it was
a
complete secret ;) As for the RAID-10 growing / layout change - I'd
absolutely love to see that implemented in the (hopefully near) future.
IMHO, RAID-10 is becoming very popular because of the falling hard drive
prices.
What version of mdadm do you have installed (the bottom of the man
page will tell you).
My v2.6.2 manpage mentions raid10 5 times, and "man md" mentions it 9
times.
If you have a recent mdadm and there was some particular place in the
man page were you were looking and didn't find raid10, please let me
know and I will try to improve that part of the documentation.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
