I was looking into this just Monday.  It looks like it's RAID 10 until
you get 6 nodes IIRC, at which point it can do something similar to a
RAID 5.  I stumbled across a great howto that seems better than the
howtoforge one in my quick reading.  I'll see if I can find it again,
I don't think I bookmarked it....

ah, yes, I did, indirectly.  I bookmarked the blog I found it on.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second,
it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
