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.

630 This device-mapper target emulates a block device that has
631 additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing
632 integrity information.
633
634 This integrity target is used with the dm-crypt target to
635 provide authenticated disk encryption or it can be used
636 standalone.

647 This device-mapper target takes a host-managed or host-aware zoned
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)
654 are also possible.

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