Abstract
Systems and methods for restriping files distributed among a set of smart storage units, wherein data blocks for a particular stripe do not typically need to be located at any particular location on the storage units, wherein data can be typically restriped among the smart storage units with minimal data movement, and wherein data is typically protected and recoverable even if a system failure occurs during the restriping process.
