tristate "RAID support"
---help---
This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
controller, you do not need to say Y here.
More information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the
Software RAID mini-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn
where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools.
If unsure, say N.
config [31mCONFIG_MD_AUTODETECT[0m
bool "Autodetect RAID arrays during kernel boot"
depends on [31mCONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD[0m=y
default y
---help---
If you say Y here, then the kernel will try to autodetect raid
arrays as part of its boot process.
If you don't use raid and say Y, this autodetection can cause
a several-second delay in the boot time due to various
synchronisation steps that are part of this step.
If unsure, say Y.

---help---
If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to
use the so-called linear mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk
partitions by simply appending one to the other.
To compile this as a module, choose [31mCONFIG_M[0m here: the module
will be called linear.
If unsure, say Y.
config [31mCONFIG_MD_RAID0[0m
tristate "RAID-0 (striping) mode"
depends on [31mCONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD[0m
---help---
If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to
use the so-called raid0 mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk
partitions into one logical device in such a fashion as to fill them
up evenly, one chunk here and one chunk there. This will increase
the throughput rate if the partitions reside on distinct disks.

---help---
[31mCONFIG_A[0m RAID-1 set consists of several disk drives which are exact copies
of each other. In the event of a mirror failure, the RAID driver
will continue to use the operational mirrors in the set, providing
an error free [31mCONFIG_MD[0m (multiple device) to the higher levels of the
kernel. In a set with N drives, the available space is the capacity
of a single drive, and the set protects against a failure of (N - 1)
drives.

tristate "RAID-10 (mirrored striping) mode"
depends on [31mCONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD[0m
---help---
RAID-10 provides a combination of striping (RAID-0) and
mirroring (RAID-1) with easier configuration and more flexible
layout.
Unlike RAID-0, but like RAID-1, RAID-10 requires all devices to
be the same size (or at least, only as much as the smallest device
will be used).
RAID-10 provides a variety of layouts that provide different levels
of redundancy and performance.
