24	  This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
25	  logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
26	  partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
27	  into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
28	  disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
29	  the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
30	  combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
31	  controller, you do not need to say Y here.

560	  This device-mapper target creates a device that supports an arbitrary
561	  mapping of fixed-size regions of I/O across a fixed set of paths.
562	  The path used for any specific region can be switched dynamically
563	  by sending the target a message.

573	help
574	  This device-mapper target takes two devices, one device to use
575	  normally, one to log all write operations done to the first device.
576	  This is for use by file system developers wishing to verify that
577	  their fs is writing a consistent file system at all times by allowing
578	  them to replay the log in a variety of ways and to check the
579	  contents.

597	  additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing
598	  integrity information.

612	help
613	  This device-mapper target takes a host-managed or host-aware zoned
614	  block device and exposes most of its capacity as a regular block
615	  device (drive-managed zoned block device) without any write
616	  constraints. This is mainly intended for use with file systems that
617	  do not natively support zoned block devices but still want to
618	  benefit from the increased capacity offered by SMR disks. Other uses
619	  by applications using raw block devices (for example object stores)
620	  are also possible.
