Reference: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/atacontrol/atacontrol.c?annotate=1.36.2.3
atacontrol.c commit on 25-Jan-2006, lines 413-427.
Code was added to allow creation of RAID0+1 on ATA controllers available at the time. This code is checking for the user supplied strings "RAID0+1" and "RAID10" and treating them both the same.
As a result, RAID10 arrays cannot be created on devices that support both levels -- unknown if there are any such devices supported by atacontrol.
RAID10 and RAID0+1 are not the same thing. The comment in the commit implies that the author thinks they are.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
1. On controllers only supporting one of the two levels (0+1 or 10), display and expect the correct string.
2. Separate the two so that, if there are any controllers that do support both, the correct one can be chosen.
ata_ioc_raid_config in sys/sys/ata.h will also need modified to support both AR_RAID01 and AR_RAID10.
