Affinities 0
Affinities are another stripe group feature that can be very beneficial.
Affinities can direct file allocation to appropriate stripe groups according
to performance requirements. For example, stripe groups can be set up
with unique hardware characteristics such as fast disk versus slow disk,
or wide stripe versus narrow stripe. Affinities can then be employed to
steer files to the appropriate stripe group. For optimal performance, files
that are accessed using large DMA-based
I/O could be steered to wide-stripe stripe groups. Less performance-
critical files could be steered to slow disk stripe groups. Small files could
be steered to narrow-stripe stripe groups.
