If the files are striped across n bricks and you totally have m bricks 
(m should be a multiple of n), for every n bricks a stripe module is the 
owner say stripe1, stripe2... stripek (k=m/n). EHA algo treats 
strip1..stripek as bricks. And computes the owner of the bricks which is 
a set of n bricks. The stripe module is responsible for contacting the 
actual physical brick.
