Hello, I just configured new server with X10SL7 using the onboard SMC2308 LSi controller with RAID 10. When launching MSM I noticed the drives are showing without dividing into spans.

You can notice the 4 drives are directly showed without dividing into 2 spans for each mirror, so it looks like RAID 0 but LSi MSM is identifying the array as RAID 10 and confirm through the web bios ? What is the fault tolerance in that case if one drive failed/degraded?
While in other RAID 10 using LSi 9260, each 2 drivers are divided into 2 spans with 2 drives in each span.
