Description: RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 mode

More info: 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. Information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available from <https://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools. If you want to use such a RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 set, say Y. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called raid456. If unsure, say Y.
