Hi Jeff,

Yeah, like said: BlueOnyx can do RAID0+1 if it finds four disks. Which is no 
true RAID10, but something pretty close.

The reasons for not supporting true RAID10 (or RAID5 either) are limitations 
of the Anaconda CD installer. The first stage kernel didn't support either 
RAID5 or RAID10 so far, hence you couldn't use Anaconda to set up RAID10 or 
RAID5. I think that was recently changed in Anaconda, but I haven't yet 
checked if the new install CD kernel now handles it, too.
