15config BLK_DEV_MD
16	tristate "RAID support"
17	---help---
18	  This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
19	  logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
20	  partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
21	  into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
22	  disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
23	  the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
24	  combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
25	  controller, you do not need to say Y here.
26
27	  More information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the
28	  Software RAID mini-HOWTO, available from
29	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn
30	  where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools.

39	  If you say Y here, then the kernel will try to autodetect raid
40	  arrays as part of its boot process.
41
42	  If you don't use raid and say Y, this autodetection can cause
43	  a several-second delay in the boot time due to various
44	  synchronisation steps that are part of this step.

52	  If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to
53	  use the so-called linear mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk
54	  partitions by simply appending one to the other.

65	  If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to
66	  use the so-called raid0 mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk
67	  partitions into one logical device in such a fashion as to fill them
68	  up evenly, one chunk here and one chunk there. This will increase
69	  the throughput rate if the partitions reside on distinct disks.

84	---help---
85	  A RAID-1 set consists of several disk drives which are exact copies
86	  of each other.  In the event of a mirror failure, the RAID driver
87	  will continue to use the operational mirrors in the set, providing
88	  an error free MD (multiple device) to the higher levels of the
89	  kernel.  In a set with N drives, the available space is the capacity
90	  of a single drive, and the set protects against a failure of (N - 1)
91	  drives.
