The present invention provides a system of hardware and software that combine to efficiently integrate the various requirements for system performance and system reliability in a RAID system. A user of the present invention is able to select from a range of system performance and reliability configurations, independently of each other. From user specifications, the present invention initially constructs a user space which must be mapped onto the physical storage space in the array of disk drives. The present invention preserves the orthogonality of performance and reliability concepts through a series of mappings that relate to these concepts independently as it transforms user space into the physical space of the disk array.

Stabilizing apparatus for a dump vehicle including a dump box pivotally movable about a frame between lowered and elevated conditions utilizes two leg members each having two end sections which are movable relative to one another in a telescoping fashion and hydraulic cylinders for telescopically moving the end sections of each leg members relative to one another. One end of each leg member is connectable to the dump box adjacent a corresponding side thereof for pivotal movement relative thereto between a first condition at which the leg member is positioned generally alongside the box for storage and a second condition at which the leg member extends angularly downwardly from the box for engagement of the other end section of the leg member with the ground. The hydraulic cylinders telescopically move the end sections of the leg member as the dump box is moved relative to the frame between the lowered and elevated conditions so that the other end section of the leg member is maintained in engagement with the ground as the dump box is moved relative to the frame so that the leg members brace the dump vehicle against forces which tend to tip the dump vehicle upon one of its sides.
