You can do it today with some hassle or wait until someone implements a
feature called 'generic layering'. The feature really means, treat some
LVs as PVs!

How can you do raid10 today? Create two raid0 LVs. Lets us call these
lvgroup0/lv0 and lvgroup0/lv1. Now create raid1 lv in lvgroup1 where
lvgroup1's PVs are lvgroup0/lv0 and lvgroup0/lv1.

Isn't that a rai10 volume?

Thanks, Malahal.
