---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. |

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. |

config MD_LINEAR tristate "Linear (append) mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD ---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 M here: the module will be called linear. If unsure, say Y. config MD_RAID0 tristate "RAID-0 (striping) mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD ---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. 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. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called raid0. If unsure, say Y. config MD_RAID1 tristate "RAID-1 (mirroring) mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD ---help--- A 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 MD (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. 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 you want to use such a RAID-1 set, say Y.

The path used for any specific region can be switched dynamically by sending the target a message. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called dm-switch.

This device-mapper target emulates a block device that has additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information. This integrity target is used with the dm-crypt target to provide authenticated disk encryption or it can be used standalone. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called dm-integrity. |

config DM_ZONED tristate "Drive-managed zoned block device target support" depends on BLK_DEV_DM depends on BLK_DEV_ZONED ---help--- This device-mapper target takes a host-managed or host-aware zoned block device and exposes most of its capacity as a regular block device (drive-managed zoned block device) without any write constraints. This is mainly intended for use with file systems that do not natively support zoned block devices but still want to benefit from the increased capacity offered by SMR disks. Other uses by applications using raw block devices (for example object stores) are also possible. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called dm-zoned. |
