No I can't.  In my first posting I list why.  The firmware for the Del
PERC cards only allows "spanning" (striping across other RAID arrays)
across 8 devices.  We want to span/stripe across 12 so hardware RAID10
is out of the question.

BTW, we had the same disk subsystem and RAID configuration on an older
box and had no issues with I/O performance.  The current system is
running Red Hat 2.4.18-17.7.xbigmem; the old system was running vanilla
2.4.18 with LVM 1.0.3 and VFS lock patches.

sounds like your situation may be related to this:

no way you can do hardware raid10? one thing to try would be to
run it without software raid and see what happens. I've never
heard of someone running software raid ontop of hardware raid..
interesting
