Pardon the noise, but I'm wondering if softraid supports nested raid types?

Specifically, I'm looking to do a raid 0+1 over 4 drives. A mirror of
stripes.

wd1 & wd2 would be striped to stripe0
wd3 & wd4 would be striped to stripe1

stripe0 would be mirrored to stripe1.


Is this even possible with bioctl?

I'm currently assembling my hardware, and I would like to at least ask a
high-level question before digging into the low-level areas.


The reason I ask, is the softraid and bioctl man pages do not mention
nesting capabilities. Or, am I going about this the wrong way and should
I concatenate wd1+2 & wd3+3 and then mirror?

I'm not looking to create a bomb-proof solution, just something to
create a little bit of fault tolerance in my home data store.

And lastly, can I create my wd1+2 stripe, populate the data, then create
my second stripe & mirror and rebuild/cross pollinate?

Thanks
Chris
