14config BLK_DEV_MD
15	tristate "RAID support"
16	---help---
17	  This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
18	  logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
19	  partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
20	  into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
21	  disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
22	  the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
23	  combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
24	  controller, you do not need to say Y here.
25
26	  More information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the
27	  Software RAID mini-HOWTO, available from
28	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn

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

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

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