| 18 | This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one |
| 19 | logical block device. This can be used to simply append one |
| 20 | partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks |
| 21 | into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard |
| 22 | disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of |
| 23 | the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the |
| 24 | combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a |
