stripe

The set of strips at corresponding locations of each member extent of a disk array that uses striped data mapping.

The strips in a stripe are associated with each other in a way (e.g., relative extent block addresses) that allows membership in the stripe to be quickly and uniquely determined by a computational algorithm. Parity RAID uses stripes to map virtual disk block addresses to member extent block addresses.
