It is exactly "standard" - when you create it with default settings and with even number of drives (2, 4, 6, 8, ...), it will be exactly "standard" raid10 (or raid1+0, whatever) as described in various places on the net. But if you use odd number of drives, or if you pass some fancy --layout option, it will look differently. Still not suitable for lilo or grub, at least their current versions. /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
