7. Appendix C. - ide RAID10 with initrd
RAID1 over striped RAID0 pair.... the disks in the RAID0 sets are not quite the same size, but close enough.
/dev/md0 is the /boot partition and is autostarted by the kernel
/dev/md1 and /dev/md3 are the two RAID0 sets autostarted by the kernel
/dev/md2 is the root partition and is started by initrd
