+ 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

+ 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.

+ RAID-10 provides a combination of striping (RAID-0) and

+ Unlike RAID-0, but like RAID-1, RAID-10 requires all devices to
