CONFIG_MD_LINEAR: Linear (append) mode (deprecated)

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MD_LINEAR has multiple definitions:

Linear (append) mode (deprecated) found in drivers/md/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MD_LINEAR:

• prompt: Linear (append) mode (deprecated)
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD
• defined in drivers/md/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.14–5.19, 6.0–6.7
• modules built: linear

Help text

If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to use the so-called linear mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk partitions by simply appending one to the other.

To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called linear.

If unsure, say Y.
