One question about man mdadm

One question about man mdadm

[Xiao Ni]

Hi all

   I'm trying to learn about the layout about raid10. I read
the man about mdadm. 

   It says "See md(4) for  more  detail  about ’near’, ’offset’, and ’far’"
What's md(4) mean? Where can I find the detail information about this?

Best Regards
Xiao

That's just the short form of, please see man-page about md from section 
4. On the command line

man 4 md

and it should show something like




NAME
        md - Multiple Device driver aka Linux Software RAID

SYNOPSIS
        /dev/mdn
        /dev/md/n
        /dev/md/name

DESCRIPTION
        The  md  driver  provides virtual devices that are created from 
one or more independent underlying devices.  This array of devices often 
contains redundancy and
        the devices are often disk drives, hence the acronym RAID which 
stands for a Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

Alternatively, first hit with most search engines:
