This is a RAID 10 setup.  That's the good way round.  For some reason
these RAID setups are referred to as 'RAID 10' (striped mirrors, good)
or 'RAID 0+1' (mirrored stripes, bad).  No idea why one gets a '+' and
the other not...

Note that on-board ATA Raid is often pretty simplistic.  It's basically
a software RAID setup without any benefit of hardware acceleration.
There's no real benefit to using it over using gmirror(8), and typically
a fairly big lack of support for hot swapping drives or resync'ing the
mirror without taking the system down, all of which you do get with
gmirror(8).

	Cheers,
