Hello all again.

Extending from an earlier question:
"deliberately degrading RAID1 to a single disk, then back again"

I got some useful answers, which I appreciate.

Taking this the next step, I want to create a RAID10 using 4 disks on a CentOS install
I also want to be able to stop and remove a pair of disks periodically , so I ma y exchange them as backup media.
Then add new disks and re-start it.

First challenge I see is the actual RAID10 creation in the install.

Second challenge is the syntax to stop the (correct) pair of disks and remove them, then re-add them and restart the array so that is re-synchs.

Can anyone lend me some syntax and tips please?
