Examples

Below are several examples of how to specify file striping.

Example 1

The file test.dat has 2 stripes, each of the same size:

[test.dat]
Striping=on
Stripe-1=dir2
Stripe-2=dir3

This causes test.dat to be in the current directory, test01.dat to be in dir2 and test02.dat to be in dir3.

Example 2

The file test.dat has 5 stripes:

[test.dat]
Striping=on
Stripe-0=dir1
Stripe-4=dir2

This causes test.dat to be in dir1, test01.dat to be in dir1,test02.dat to be in dir1, test03.dat to be in dir1, test04.dat to be in dir2 and test05.dat to be in dir2.

Example 3

The file test.dat has 3 stripes:

[test.dat]
Striping=on
Stripe-0=dir1,100000000
Stripe-1=dir2,200000000

This causes test.dat to be in dir1 with a file size of 100000000 bytes and test01.dat to be in dir2 with a file size of 200000000 bytes.
