+## Reconfigure to raid10
+
+We have 14 free disks to be used, so let's create raid 10 array with 10 disk and 4 four as `spare` devices for auto-rebuild in case of failure
+
+```
+mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --level=raid10 --layout=f2 --raid-devices=10 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf /dev/sdg /dev/sdh /dev/sdi /dev/sdj /dev/sdk /dev/sdl

+```
+
+Let's increase the raid array speed
+
+```
+md_device=md0
+echo max > /sys/block/${md_device}/md/sync_max
+echo 500000 > /sys/block/${md_device}/md/sync_speed_min
+echo 500000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
+```
+
+### Adding other disks as Spare disks in array
+
+```
+ for i in m n o p ; do mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sd${i} ; done
+mdadm: added /dev/sdm
+mdadm: added /dev/sdn
+mdadm: added /dev/sdo
+mdadm: added /dev/sdp
+
+mdadm --detail /dev/md0|grep Devices
+      Raid Devices : 10
+     Total Devices : 14
+    Active Devices : 10
+   Working Devices : 14
+    Failed Devices : 0
+     Spare Devices : 4
+```
+
+
+### VolumeGroup create and LV/filesystem
+Let's now create a vg_array volume on top of new /dev/md0 raid10 device :-1: 
+
+```
+pvcreate /dev/md0
+vgcreate vg_array /dev/md0
+```
+
+## raid10 ioperf tests
+
+
+```
