Terminology
[edit]I think there is a inconsistency here, as also the segment written to one disk is called stripe and also the segment written to a disk multiplied by the number of data disks is called a stripe. For my understanding the segment on one disk is the chunk and the segment multiplied by the number of data disks is the stripe. And so it is for chunk / stripe size. "The amount of data in one stripe, often denominated in bytes, is variously referred to as the (...) stripe size" ... "The amount of data in one strip multiplied by the number of data disks in the array is sometimes called the stripe size" ... --193.100.62.29 (talk) 11:32, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hello! We can use this source or this one, for example; based on that, you're right as "RAID chunk size" (stride) and "number of stripe units in the stripe" is the used terminology. Went ahead and corrected the Data striping § Terminology section, please check it out. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 17:34, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
