16 ---help---
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.

66 partitions into one logical device in such a fashion as to fill them
67 up evenly, one chunk here and one chunk there. This will increase
68 the throughput rate if the partitions reside on distinct disks.

84 A RAID-1 set consists of several disk drives which are exact copies
85 of each other. In the event of a mirror failure, the RAID driver
86 will continue to use the operational mirrors in the set, providing
87 an error free MD (multiple device) to the higher levels of the
88 kernel. In a set with N drives, the available space is the capacity
89 of a single drive, and the set protects against a failure of (N - 1)
90 drives.
