Thanks Chris for the detailed response!
I couldn't understand the complex sentence about XFS and was almost
convinced that XFS might offer a new way to spread across multiple disks.
And in this case it's mainly me and not you.
Now I understand how a md linear/concat array can be exploited with XFS!
Not related directly but given that XFS has commercial support, it can
be an advantage over other file systems which are built to handle lots
of small files but might not have commercial support.

So contrary to popular opinion on XFS being mainly useful for large
files, it's actually quite useful for concurrent read write workflows
of small files on a many disk linear/concat arrangement. This extends
to using raid1 + linear instead of raid10 if some redundancy is
desired.
