Abstract
A method for striping, the method may include performing, for each period of time out of multiple periods of time, the steps of: (i) determining striping rules; wherein the determining of the striping rules may include selecting one or more selected stripe size values out of multiple stripe size value candidates; wherein the selecting is based on values of storage system parameters that are obtained when applying the multiple stripe size value candidates; wherein the storage system parameters comprise storage space utilization and storage system throughput; and (ii) applying the striping rules by the storage system, during the period of time; wherein the applying comprises obtaining data chunks; converting the data chunks to stripes having at least one of the one or more selected stripe size values; and storing the stripes in the storage system.
