Bro just install normally and then try to config RAID 10 ... I guess you are looking for virtual RAID isn't it?

Hi All;

I have a server which we've setup with 2 - 500GB drives and 6 -  4TB
drives

I want to mirror the 2 500GB drives as a RAID 1 volume - works as expected

However I also want to add all 6 4TB drives to a single RAID 10 RAID
device

I try and create a raid volume, choose one of the 4TB drives and it wont
let me select more than 2TB of space.  Can someone give some insight on how
to pull this off?
This is going to depend on a couple of factors:

1) If you are using SciLin-5 there may be a limit to the size of disk that
it can use.
2) If you are using SciLin-6 it should be able to work because I believe it
uses gparted but it might only use that if your system booted in UEFI mode.
In BIOS mode or if it uses fdisk then it can only be used for disks no
larger than 2TB.

Not 100% sure but if the 500GB drives are set up to be /boot (msdos
partition), then the other drives can be partitioned using GPT.  If
this is plausible, then UEFI mode is not required and GPT allows disks
larger than 2TB.
