I've had success using a combination of gstripe and gmirror to create a RAID10 over 4 drives: % gstripe status Name Status Components stripe/st0 UP mirror/gm2 mirror/gm1 % gmirror status Name Status Components mirror/gm2 COMPLETE da0 (ACTIVE) da1 (ACTIVE) mirror/gm1 COMPLETE da2 (ACTIVE) da3 (ACTIVE) This is a separate data area though -- system boots from some different drives. I can't remember if it is possible to boot from a gstripe. Cheers, Matthew
