Hi, The actual total storage used across all the children of stripe will be the same as file size. Hence there is no extra storage consumed, though ls -lh <file> on each backend reports size approximately equal to file size (which will make total storage to be equal to n * file-size, n being number of children of stripe). sorry for the confusion. regards, 2009/4/15 Raghavendra G <raghavendra.hg at gmail.com> > on the backend, striped files have holes in those regions data is not > present.
