Btrfs RAID-10 performance

I cannot verify it, but I think that even JBOD is propagated as a 
virtual device. If you create JBOD from 3 different disks, low level 
parameters may differ.

And probably old firmware is the reason we used RAID-0 two or three 
years before.

Thank you for the ideas.

Kind regards
Milo
