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