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.
Caution: Deleting a stripe group causes a complete loss of data and
requires re-making the file system. Refer to Making or
Unmaking a File System on page 100.
