+RAID-1 (mirroring) mode
+CONFIG_MD_MIRRORING
+  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 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.

+RAID-4/RAID-5 mode
+CONFIG_MD_RAID5
+  A RAID-5 set of N drives with a capacity of C MB per drive provides
+  the capacity of C * (N - 1) drives, 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 accross the drives in one
+  of the available parity distribution methods.
