menuconfig MD
bool "Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM)"
depends on BLOCK
select SRCU
help
Support multiple physical spindles through a single logical device.
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.

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:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
If unsure, say Y.

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.

If unsure, say Y.
config MD_MULTIPATH
tristate "Multipath I/O support"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
help
MD_MULTIPATH provides a simple multi-path personality for use
the MD framework. It is not under active development. New
projects should consider using DM_MULTIPATH which has more
features and more testing.
If unsure, say N.
config MD_FAULTY
tristate "Faulty test module for MD"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
help
The "faulty" module allows for a block device that occasionally returns
read or write errors. It is useful for testing.
In unsure, say N.
config MD_CLUSTER
tristate "Cluster Support for MD"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
depends on DLM
default n
---help---
Clustering support for MD devices. This enables locking and
synchronization across multiple systems on the cluster, so all
nodes in the cluster can access the MD devices simultaneously.
This brings the redundancy (and uptime) of RAID levels across the
nodes of the cluster. Currently, it can work with raid1 and raid10
(limited support).
If unsure, say N.

config DM_CACHE
tristate "Cache target (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
default n
select DM_PERSISTENT_DATA
select DM_BIO_PRISON
---help---
dm-cache attempts to improve performance of a block device by
moving frequently used data to a smaller, higher performance
device. 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_SMQ
tristate "Stochastic MQ Cache Policy (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on DM_CACHE
default y
---help---
A cache policy that uses a multiqueue ordered by recent hits
to select which blocks should be promoted and demoted.
This is meant to be a general purpose policy. It prioritises
reads over writes. This SMQ policy (vs MQ) offers the promise
of less memory utilization, improved performance and increased
adaptability in the face of changing workloads.
config DM_WRITECACHE
tristate "Writecache target"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
---help---
The writecache target caches writes on persistent memory or SSD.
It is intended for databases or other programs that need extremely
low commit latency.
The writecache target doesn't cache reads because reads are supposed
to be cached in standard RAM.

select DM_PERSISTENT_DATA
---help---
dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device. The cloned device is
visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to the
destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user
I/O.
If unsure, say N.
config DM_MIRROR
tristate "Mirror target"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
---help---
Allow volume managers to mirror logical volumes, also
needed for live data migration tools such as 'pvmove'.
config DM_LOG_USERSPACE
