Layout methods

Data in virtual objects is organized to create volumes by using the following layout methods:

• Concatenation and spanning
• Striping (RAID-0)
• Mirroring (RAID-1)
• Striping plus mirroring (mirrored-stripe or RAID-0+1)
• Mirroring plus striping (striped-mirror, RAID-1+0 or RAID-10)
• RAID-5 (striping with parity)

The following sections describe each layout method.
