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

594	  normally, one to log all write operations done to the first device.
595	  This is for use by file system developers wishing to verify that
596	  their fs is writing a consistent file system at all times by allowing
597	  them to replay the log in a variety of ways and to check the

633	  block device and exposes most of its capacity as a regular block
634	  device (drive-managed zoned block device) without any write
635	  constraints. This is mainly intended for use with file systems that
636	  do not natively support zoned block devices but still want to
637	  benefit from the increased capacity offered by SMR disks. Other uses
638	  by applications using raw block devices (for example object stores)
