If I understand you correctly, you need 2 copies of every file in filesystem
(which has 10disks), right?
Then yes, unify over afr is able to give you a solution.

Unify (afr1 (brick1,brick2),afr2(brick3,brick4),afr3(brick5,brick6),
afr4(brick7,brick8),afr5(brick9,brick10))

This should work fine for you.

Amar
