There's an inconsistency in rfc5663 that had me a bit confused:
/// struct pnfs_block_stripe_volume_info4 {
/// length4 bsv_stripe_unit; /* size of stripe in bytes */
The comment "size of stripe in bytes" fits the definition of "stripe width"
from rfc5661 section 13.2, but that's not what's meant here. The field
name, "stripe_unit", is correct.

You are right stripe_unit is the the bytes to write to a single
device before advancing to the next device. The comment is wrong
the "size of stripe in bytes" is stripe_unit * num_of_devices.
The same name used in the OSD and files layout and has the same
meaning.
