Ugh. Yes. offset is linux extension. But md raid 10 with default, n2 (without offset), configuration will behave exactly like in "classic" docs. Again. Linux md raid10 module implements standard raid10 as known in all widely used docs. And IN ADDITION, it can do OTHER FORMS, which differs from "classic" variant. Pretty like a hardware raid card from a brand vendor probably implements their own variations of standard raid levels. /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
