The following reply was made to PR bin/166589; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Allen Landsidel <landsidel.allen@gmail.com> To: Alexander Motin <mav@FreeBSD.org> Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: bin/166589: atacontrol(8) incorrectly treats RAID10 and 0+1 the same Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:51:35 -0500 They are not variants in terminology, they are different raid levels. Raid0+1 is two RAID-0 arrays, mirrored into a RAID-1. if one of the disks fails, that entire RAID-0 is offline and must be rebuilt, and all redundancy is lost. A RAID-10 is composed of N raid-1 disks combined into a RAID-0. If one disk fails, only that particular RAID-1 is degraded, and the redundancy of the others is maintained. 0+1 cannot survive two failed disks no matter how many are in the array. 10 can survive half the disks failing, if it's the right half. This is something people who've never used more than 4 disks fail to grasp, but those of us with 6 (or many many more) know very well.
