Hey everyone,

Could someone explain to me the advantages and disadvantages of RAID10 vs RAID0+1 vs 
RAID1+0 ? I am about to setup a system that needs high disk IO and also redundancy. 
Doest Linux support RAID10 or just 0+1 and 1+0?
I think I read somewhere that RAID10 was not supported (in the kernel).

RAID10:
http://www.peripheralstorage.com/snap/raid10.html

RAID0+1:
http://www.peripheralstorage.com/snap/raid0+1.html

Also, what is the difference between doing a setup A like this:
hda+hdb in RAID0 => md0
hdc+hdd in RAID0 => md1
md0+md1 in RAID1 => md3 == /var

and setup B like this:
hda+hdb in RAID1 => md0
hdc+hdd in RAID1 => md1
md0+md1 in RAID0 => md3 == /var

Which one is better, and why (latency, throughput, etc)?

Thanks a lot in advance
