[net.periphs] Disk Striping

wyatt@cfa.UUCP (Bill Wyatt) (03/13/86)

I am trying to find out something about what people have done on disk striping,
that is, increasing I/O by distributing a file across more than one disk
spindle. I am interested about such work in both the Unix and VMS domains.

If there is sufficient interest, I will, of course, summarize to the net.
Thanks.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is so special about striping?
It seems to me that interleaved filesystems will automatically
give you striping, provided you choose your m and n intelligently,
and they've been in unix since V6, at least.

Do I miss something?
