Component DM_RAID

Component Type: kbuild config

Description: RAID 1/4/5/6/10 target

More info: A dm target that supports RAID1, RAID10, RAID4, RAID5 and RAID6 mappings 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.
