Required for RAID and logical volume management. if MD config BLK_DEV_MD tristate "RAID support" ---help--- 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 into 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 from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools. If unsure, say N. config MD_AUTODETECT bool "Autodetect RAID arrays during kernel boot" depends on BLK_DEV_MD=y default y ---help--- If you say Y here, then the kernel will try to autodetect raid arrays as part of its boot process. If you don't use raid and say Y, this autodetection can cause a several-second delay in the boot time due to various synchronisation steps that are part of this step. If unsure, say Y. config MD_LINEAR tristate "Linear (append) mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD ---help--- If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to use the so-called linear mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk partitions by simply appending one to the other. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called linear. If unsure, say Y. config MD_RAID0 tristate "RAID-0 (striping) mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD ---help--- If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to use the so-called raid0 mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk partitions into one logical device in such a fashion as to fill them up evenly, one chunk here and one chunk there. This will increase the throughput rate if the partitions reside on distinct disks. Information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called raid0. If unsure, say Y. config MD_RAID1 tristate "RAID-1 (mirroring) mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD ---help--- A RAID-1 set consists of several disk drives which are exact copies of each other. In the event of a mirror failure, the RAID driver will continue to use the operational mirrors in the set, providing an error free MD (multiple device) to the higher levels of the kernel. In a set with N drives, the available space is the capacity of a single drive, and the set protects against a failure of (N - 1) drives. Information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools. If you want to use such a RAID-1 set, say Y. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called raid1. If unsure, say Y. config MD_RAID10 tristate "RAID-10 (mirrored striping) mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD ---help--- RAID-10 provides a combination of striping (RAID-0) and mirroring (RAID-1) with easier configuration and more flexible layout. Unlike RAID-0, but like RAID-1, RAID-10 requires all devices to be the same size (or at least, only as much as the smallest device will be used). RAID-10 provides a variety of layouts that provide different levels of redundancy and performance. RAID-10 requires mdadm-1.7.0 or later, available at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ If unsure, say Y. config MD_RAID456 tristate "RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 mode" depends on BLK_DEV_MD select RAID6_PQ select ASYNC_MEMCPY select ASYNC_XOR select ASYNC_PQ select ASYNC_RAID6_RECOV ---help--- A RAID-5 set of N drives with a capacity of C MB per drive provides the capacity of C * (N - 1) MB, and protects against a failure of a single drive. For a given sector (row) number, (N - 1) drives contain data sectors, and one drive contains the parity protection. For a RAID-4 set, the parity blocks are present on a single drive, while a RAID-5 set distributes the parity across the drives in one of the available parity distribution methods. A RAID-6 set of N drives with a capacity of C MB per drive provides the capacity of C * (N - 2) MB, and protects against a failure of any two drives. For a given sector (row) number, (N - 2) drives contain data sectors, and two drives contains two independent redundancy syndromes. Like RAID-5, RAID-6 distributes the syndromes across the drives in one of the available parity distribution methods. Information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

It is useful for testing. In unsure, say N. source "drivers/md/bcache/Kconfig" config BLK_DEV_DM tristate "Device mapper support" ---help--- Device-mapper is a low level volume manager. It works by allowing people to specify mappings for ranges of logical sectors. Various mapping types are available, in addition people may write their own modules containing custom mappings if they wish. Higher level volume managers such as LVM2 use this driver. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called dm-mod.

Different 'policy' plugins can be used to change the algorithms used to select which blocks are promoted, demoted, cleaned etc. It supports writeback and writethrough modes. config DM_CACHE_MQ tristate "MQ Cache Policy (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on DM_CACHE default y ---help--- A cache policy that uses a multiqueue ordered by recent hit count to select which blocks should be promoted and demoted. This is meant to be a general purpose policy. It prioritises reads over writes. config DM_CACHE_CLEANER tristate "Cleaner Cache Policy (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on DM_CACHE default y ---help--- A simple cache policy that writes back all data to the origin.
