Name: The name of the new stripe group.
Breadth: The breadth size is the number of file system blocks that
the system reads/writes before moving to the next disk in the
stripe group. This value should be optimized for the major
application that uses the disks. The default setting is 64.
Available Disks: Disks available to the stripe group. To populate
this list, you must first add disks to the file system by doing the
following:
1) From the SNFS home page, choose Disks from the Config
menu.
2) Select the file system in which the disks reside, and then click
Add.
