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

610	  This is for use by file system developers wishing to verify that
611	  their fs is writing a consistent file system at all times by allowing

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