Working With Affinities

Working With Affinities

An affinity is a label assigned to one or more stripe groups. An affinity enables you to direct data to its associated stripe groups. A file system can have one or more affinities associated with it. These associations, defined in stripe groups, are made with the affinity key to a directory or file.

For example, if you create a directory association with Affinity aff1, all data written to that directory is written to StripeGroup StripeGroup2, and therefore only to disk2.

If you make an association with Affinity aff2 and a separate directory in the file system, all data is directed to StripeGroup StripeGroup3, which contains three disks: disk3, disk4, and disk5. All data is written to these disks when directed to the associated directory with Affinity aff2.
