Configuring RAID 10 (2/15/2016)

Sahil and I configured RAID 10 using the software RAID option in the installer, which is documented here. We put two 64 GB swap space partitions on the first two hard drives, and created two ext4 partitions that took up the rest of the space on those two drives. For the other two drives, we used a single ext4 partition for each drive. For all of the ext4 partitions, we set the bootable flag to "on." Then we chose to configure the software RAID, created a new MD device, and chose RAID10 with 2 active devices and 2 spare devices. For the active devices, we chose the two ext4 partitions on the first two hard drives, and for the spare devices, we chose the two ext4 partitions on the other two hard drives.
