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.

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)
