With 5-drive linux raid10:

   0  0  1  1  2
   2  3  3  4  4
   5  5  6  6  7
   7  8  8  9  9
  10 10 11 11 12

A&B can't be removed - 0, 5.  A&C CAN be removed, as
are A&D.  But not A&E - losing 2 and 7.  And so on.

I stand corrected by Michael, this is indeed the case with the current state of md raid 10. Either my observations were incorrect when I made them a year and a half ago, or some fixes went into the kernel since then.

In any way - linux md10 does behave exactly as a classic raid 1+0 when created with -n D -p nS where D and S are both even and D = 2S.
