 It seemed to be related to the linux-raid list, telling where to find
 archives of the list.
 
 Maybe time for an update? or is this not the right place to write stuff?

I have written to faqs.org but got no reply. I'll try again...

 
 If I searched on google for raid faq, the first say 5-7 items did not
 mention raid10.

Until people link to and use the new wiki, Google won't find it.


 Maybe wikipedia is the way to go? I did contribute myself a little
 there.
 
 The software raid howto is dated v. 1.1 3rd of June 2004,
 http://unthought.net/Software-RAID.HOWTO/Software-RAID.HOWTO.html
 also pretty old.

great idea! I belive that wikis are the best way to go.

Everyone that has a website - link to that wiki RIGHT NOW! And we
will have a central place for all linux-raid documentation. Findable
with google.

There should be a link to it from vger.kernel.org. Or even the
kernel.org itself. Mailing list admins - can you do it?

best regards.

 Hmm, I read the Linux raid faq on
 http://www.faqs.org/contrib/linux-raid/x37.html

I've found some information in 

/usr/share/doc/mdadm/FAQ.gz

I'm wondering why this file is not advertised anywhere
(eg. in 'man mdadm'). Does it exist only in debian packages, or what?
With 'man 4 md' I've found a little sparse info about raid10. But
still I don't get it.
