ABSTRACT:
Provided are a techniques for mapping data blocks to storage blocks. A portion of data is received, and the portion of data is segmented into one or more data blocks. The one or more data blocks are mapped to one or more storage blocks of one or more storage devices, wherein the one or more data blocks are mapped to wrap around the storage devices after each of the storage devices has been utilized.
