ABSTRACT:
A system and method performs cross stripe write operations to a striped volume set (SVS) comprising of a plurality of volumes. A cross stripe write operation is directed to a first volume striping module (VSM) serving a first data volume where the entire write data of the operation is written to the volume. The first VSM then forwards excess data that extends beyond the boundary of a stripe to a second VSM for storage on a second data volume.
