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
25 controller, you do not need to say Y here.
