Fasttrack TX2 - Raid10, dmsetup table example?

[Torsten Krah]

Some guesses - maybe they are right and someone can confirm.
hda1 and hdc1 are the raid0, the other ones are used as mirror devices.

If i would make a raid0 with dmsetup to make one block device, i should 
get my partition back? Am i right?
How can i find out which disks are used as mirror and which was used as 
stripe set - last 20 sectors or something, which information is 
essential to know this?

Can i try various combinations and see if fdisks founds some useful 
partition table? Can i do any damage to the raid set by using dmraid to 
create the block device and searching for partitions on it?

Should be only read access - should be safe, shouldn't it?

kind regards

Torsten
