At this point,HAMMER seems like a RAID0
In case a HAMMER filesystem consists of mulitple disks, the capacity of
all disks is used. That has nothing to do with striping (RAID0). Space
can be allocated and used from each disk.
With RAID there are fixed rules on which disk a sector resides (disk 0,
disk 1, disk 0 for striping with 2 disks for example), and there is no
explicit information on which disk a given block resides, while HAMMER
makes this explicit and uses AFAIK chunks of continous space.
