Just to confirm what I have said: the raid tool during installation does not propose RAID10 ( Only 0,1,5). I'll go and check on the raid's mailing list.
However, I really want to understand why can't it be possible to build a pakage of the driver (just like the one made for Suse Enterprise) on OpenSuse? http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/sata/sataii/AAR-1430SA/
Because you would have to rebuild the driver disk for every new kernel. It's not worth the effort.
If the ONLY solution is to use integrated Linux software raid, shouldn't I use the ICH9r then, and sell my Adaptec card? Or should I use Suse Enterprise? RHLE? or Windows?
And finally, just to check the prices and figure out what I should do, does someone have the list of Hardware Raid cards supported ? I have check all the manufactures web sites (3ware,Hightpoint, areca...), and it's not clear to me what should work without a flaw.
Both 3Ware as well as Areca are running without much trouble. Though the 3Ware firmware seems to be a bit more mature.

OK, thanks. yesterday, I have tried to make RAID 10 work with DMRaid. Didn't manage to do it. So either I use a windows server, or I buy a new card. I have found a Hightpoint RocketRaid 2320 and it's not to expensive. However, I not 100% sure it's supported native. I couldn't find a serious list about hardware raid support.
