Abstract
A technique places content, such as data, of one or more data containers on volumes of a striped volume set (SVS). The placement of data across the volumes of the SVS allows specification of a deterministic pattern of fixed length. That is, the pattern determines a placement of data of a data container that is striped among the volumes of the SVS. The placement pattern is such that the stripes are distributed exactly or nearly equally among the volumes and that, within any local span of a small multiple of the number of volumes, the stripes are distributed nearly equally among the volumes. The placement pattern is also substantially similar for a plurality of SVSs having different numbers of volumes.
