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
