[geeks] RAID quirks and terminology

[Nick B]

I've had occasion to argue the difference between RAID-10 "stripe then
mirror" vs RAID-10 "mirror then stripe", which leads to much confusion.
Turns out there's been research on this (probably a lot, but I didn't dig
*that* deep), and someone has solved that problem further than I realized
it could be solved.

At 126 pages I'm not sure I'll ever read it cover to cover, but it is very
interesting.
