+    * The address space of the array is conceptually divided into chunks and consecutive chunks are striped onto neighboring devices.
+  * **algorithm 2**:  Uses algorithm 2.
   * **[8/8]**:  The first number is the number of a complete raid devices as defined.  The second number is how many devices are in use.
