Supposing you don't have a *really* good reason to want to use the RAID10 mode (not 1+0/0+1), just use LVM on top of RAID1. Create two RAID1 sets for mirroring and LVM stripe them by making each RAID1 device a separate PV, adding both to the same VG, and creating the LVs with stripping. As a rule of thumb, never stack Linux md devices. It invites trouble (and yes, this is because of kernel bugs -- it should be safe, but it is not always so). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
