92 RAID-10 provides a combination of striping (RAID-0) and
93 mirroring (RAID-1) with easier configuration and more flexable
93 mirroring (RAID-1) with easier configuration and more flexible
94 layout.
95 Unlike RAID-0, but like RAID-1, RAID-10 requires all devices to
96 be the same size (or at least, only as much as the smallest device
97 will be used).
98 RAID-10 provides a variety of layouts that provide different levels
99 of redundancy and performance.

142 A RAID-5 set can be expanded by adding extra drives. This
143 requires "restriping" the array which means (almost) every
144 block must be written to a different place.
145
146 This option allows such restriping to be done while the array
147 is online. However it is still EXPERIMENTAL code. It should
148 work, but please be sure that you have backups.
