log and cache devices don't stripe. You can add more than one, and
The term 'stripe' has been so outrageously severely abused in this forum that it is impossible to know what someone is talking about when they use the term. Seemingly intelligent people continue to use wrong terminology because they think that protracting the confusion somehow helps new users. We are left with no useful definition of 'striping'.
The slog does actually 'stripe' in some cases (depending on what 'stripe' means) if you study how it works in sufficient detail. At least that is what we have been told.
The slog does not do micro-striping, nano-striping, pico-striping, or femto-striping (not even at the sub-bit level) but it does do mega-striping.
