Add new block group profile to store 4 copies in a simliar way that current RAID1 does. The profile attributes and constraints are defined in the raid table and used by the same code that already handles the 2- and 3-copy RAID1. The minimum number of devices is 4, the maximum number of devices/chunks that can be lost/damaged is 3. There is no comparable traditional RAID level, the profile is added for future needs to accompany triple-parity and beyond. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
