Well, you have *way* more files than we do... :)

Err... RAID10 is not 10 disks unless you stripe 5 mirrors of 2 disks.

It should be, since the bricks are smaller. But given you're using a 
replica 3 I don't understand why you're also using RAID1: for each 10T 
of user-facing capacity you're keeping 60TB of data on disks.
I'd ditch local RAIDs to double the space available. Unless you 
desperately need the extra read performance.

in our case. Tks :)
