Hi,

I'm building a NAS using Openfiler2.3 (from 32-bit ISO), first of all I want to experiment it on VM first before going out and buy the harddrives needed.

I created 5 virtual drives on VMware, sda is 2GB and the rest 1GB each (sdb to sde).

I left sda blank and want to setup a RAID 10 disk using sdb, sdc, sdd and sde, 4 RAID partitions are setup successfully, but when I try to create a RAID device the only option for RAID level is 1, 0, 5 and 6.

RAID 10 is not there!

Can someone let me know what have I missed, please?

TIA.
