Hello,

When using raid10 btrfs on four disks of two different sizes (two of one size two of another) does btrfs know to match the similarly sized disks in a mirrored pair?

I guess a corallary would be: will btrfs stripe over the mirrored pairs until the smaller pair fills up and then continue writing to the larger pair?

Also, if raid10 is used with, say, 3 100gb drives and 1 250gb drive would the 250gb drive be able to fail without data loss? Could it be fully utilized? How about with a 500gb drive?

Thanks,
Brian
