Example: Disk Striping

Disk striping is the technique of spreading sequential data across multiple disk drives so data can be accessed in parallel from several drives at once. If striping is used, then these tune parameters are set:

Parameter	Value
stripe size	64KB
max_coalesce	64KB
minpgahead	2
maxpgahead	16 x number of disk drives
maxfree	minfree + maxpgahead
