I would like to set up CentOS on 4 SATA hard drives that I would like to configure in RAID10. I read somewhere that Raid10 support is in the latest kernel, but I can't seem to get anaconda to let me create it. I only see raid 0, 1, 5, and 6. Even when I tried to set up raid5 or raid1, it would not let me put the /boot partition on it, and I though that this was now possible. Is it possible for me to set up the configuration I'm looking for? Russ

If I do select raid1 for the entire array, I only get the space of 3 of the 4 drives, and the installer still complains that I cannot put boot on a raid system. Is there a how-to somewhere on getting this to work? Russ
