Multiple devices driver support
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD
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 to 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.
More information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the
Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) from
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini. There you will also
learn where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools.
If unsure, say N.
