Well, to be fair, I did /try/ to talk about raid10 in the context of N- way-mirroring, as *one*future*option*, which would let you do say 3-way- mirroring, 2-way-striping, using six devices, giving you that choice in addition to the current 3-way-striping, 2-way-mirroring, that's the only current choice for btrfs raid10 with six devices, since it's limited to two-way-mirroring. But obviously I was more confusing than clear, since you apparently didn't see that bit at all, and he saw it, but apparently ended up more confused than helped by it, possibly due to trying to apply that discussion to a larger scope than the limited one-future-option scope that I had originally intended. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
