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.

619 This device-mapper target emulates a block device that has
620 additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing
621 integrity information.
622
623 This integrity target is used with the dm-crypt target to
624 provide authenticated disk encryption or it can be used
625 standalone.
626
627 To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will
628 be called dm-integrity.

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

645 To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will
646 be called dm-zoned.
