251da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
261da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
271da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
281da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
291da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
