Chapter 6 Managing the File System
Working With Affinities
StorNext User’s Guide 116
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.
