Data is written in "chunks", +with consecutive chunks rotating among the underlying devices. This can +potentially provide improved I/O throughput by utilizing several physical +devices in parallel. + +Parameters: <num devs> <chunk size> [<dev path> <offset>]+ + <num devs>: + Number of underlying devices. + <chunk size>: + Size of each chunk of data. Must be at least as + large as the system's PAGE_SIZE. + <dev path>: + Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a + "major:minor" device-number. + <offset>: + Starting sector within the device. + +One or more underlying devices can be specified. The striped device size must +be a multiple of the chunk size multiplied by the number of underlying devices. + + +Example scripts +=============== + +:: + + #!/usr/bin/perl -w + # Create a striped device across any number of underlying devices.
