have decided to go for the safe shot and made raid1 partitions for /boot and raid10 for the rest
not really sure if it would have been possible or easier doing this at install time, but doing it on a running system has its advantages. for those interested i have made some notes http://songshu.org/doku/doku.php?id=host.cipar.net

this leaves me with 1 thing i can't figure out so far and that is that i can start grub from all 4 disks as planned, but i can only boot in my case from hd0,0 and hd3,0

is this correct for raid10???? it does make some sense but i'm not sure
