I operate (and have done so for a long time) a raid10,f2 on two drives.
What makes you think it wants at least 3?
Neat, I thought I tried that the other day and it complained that raid 5
and 6 ( sic ) need at least 3 drives. Seemed like it was just a bug or
oversight.
raid5 needs at least 3 disks to make sense (raid5 with 2 disks is the
same as raid1), while raid6 needs at least 4 disks. But mdadm raid10
needs only two disks.
