Haven't heard from anyone here about my questions I asked before (quoted below).
However, as Matt once suggested in this mailing list, I created RAID10 with SiL SATA RAID CARD. When I tried to install DFBSD3.0.1, the installer asks me whether to install da8 and da9 hdd available, now I am a bit confused RAID10 isn't like JBOD which will calculate the total 8TB of HDD space in four 2TB each as 4TB (half of the total capacity)? Or did I miss something? How do you guys install DFBSD to a RAID10? Thanks!
