Hi Steffan,

> Does the BO install Support raid 10

Yes, it does. Sort of. If the BlueOnyx installer finds four disks, it will 
create a RAID 0+1. Means: It takes two disks each and turns them into a RAID0. 
Then it takes the two groups of RAID0 and forms a RAID1 with them.

However: A software RAID with four disks will create a noticeable overhead. So 
my recommendation is to use a hardware RAID controller that supports four 
disks and allows you to natively do RAID10 instead.
