Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070019 This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
20 logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
21 partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
22 into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
23 disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
24 the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
25 combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
26 controller, you do not need to say Y here.
