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.

628 This device-mapper target takes two devices, one device to use
629 normally, one to log all write operations done to the first device.
630 This is for use by file system developers wishing to verify that
631 their fs is writing a consistent file system at all times by allowing
632 them to replay the log in a variety of ways and to check the
633 contents.

667 This device-mapper target takes a host-managed or host-aware zoned
668 block device and exposes most of its capacity as a regular block
669 device (drive-managed zoned block device) without any write
670 constraints. This is mainly intended for use with file systems that
671 do not natively support zoned block devices but still want to
672 benefit from the increased capacity offered by SMR disks. Other uses
673 by applications using raw block devices (for example object stores)
674 are also possible.
