17 This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
18 logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
19 partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
20 into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
21 disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
22 the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
23 combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
24 controller, you do not need to say Y here.

26 More information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the

408 This device-mapper target creates a read-only device that
409 transparently validates the data on one underlying device against
410 a pre-generated tree of cryptographic checksums stored on a second
411 device.

425 This device-mapper target creates a device that supports an arbitrary
426 mapping of fixed-size regions of I/O across a fixed set of paths.
427 The path used for any specific region can be switched dynamically
428 by sending the target a message.
