Abstract: A system and method is disclosed that provides for the dynamic striping of the disks of a storage array. The system and method disclosed herein provides a technique for translating access commands in a manner that is specific to the stripe that is the target of the access command. When a storage controller receives the access command, the storage controller identifies the logical block that is the subject of the access command, and the stripe that includes the logical block. On the basis of the identification of the stripe, the storage controller retrieves a stripe-specific translation function, the input of which is the logical address of the access command. After the storage controller executes the stripe-specific translation function, the storage controller completes the access command at the translated address.
