There is no direct support for RAID-10 via software RAID, you have to make yourself two RAID-1 arrays and then apply a second layer of software RAID-0 over the top. The installer may not support RAID-10 directly because of the multi-layer approach. Normally, one makes a RAID-10 software setup as follows: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]1 mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[cd]1 mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md[01] I'd be interested to know if you can approach the installation in the same way, actually.
