[Gluster-users] What about Stripe mode

[Kamal K. Varma]

We recommend stripe only if you have very few, very large files that 
numerous clients need to access simultaneously. Otherwise and for most 
cases distribute (file level) is a better choice.

With some exceptions, when file data is striped across multiple nodes in 
a stripe set, and one node in that set goes down, then those blocks are 
what becomes inaccessible.  Other parts of file remain accessible.
