+ # 'raid10_segtype_default' determines the segment types used by default
+ # when the '--stripes/-i' and '--mirrors/-m' arguments are both specified
+ # during the creation of a logical volume.
+ # Possible settings include:

+ # "raid10" - This implementation leverages MD's RAID10 personality through
+ # device-mapper.
+ #
+ # "mirror" - LVM will layer the 'mirror' and 'stripe' segment types. It
+ # will do this by creating a mirror on top of striped sub-LVs;
+ # effectively creating a RAID 0+1 array. This is suboptimal
+ # in terms of providing redunancy and performance. Changing to
+ # this setting is not advised.
+ # Specify the '--type <raid10|mirror>' option to override this default
