I'll make an exception in this case, but I generally reply to messages
on mailing lists to the list only, and I have no plans to change this.

The vast majority of online sources would disagree with you.  See:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels
    http://www.aput.net/~jheiss/raid10/
    http://decipherinfosys.wordpress.com/2008/01/15/difference-between-raid-01-vs-raid-10/

    http://www.adrc.com/raid-01.html

The order it's written is the order of creation.  RAID0+1 =  RAID 0,
then RAID 1 (mirrored stripes) and RAID1+0 = RAID 1, then RAID 0
(striped mirrors).

Cheers,
