Linux MD raid10 can run on only 2 drives. Linux raid10,f2 has almost RAID0 striping performance in sequential read. You can have an odd number of drives in raid10. And you can have as many copies as you like in raid10, > i don?t know any raid standard, just hardware based standard There is an organisation that standardizes RAID levels.

The raid10 offset layout is an implementation of one of their specs. > you can?t get a smart array(hp) disk and put on a perc(dell) or linux > mdadm and wait it will work without tweaking... Yes.
