I went ahead and committed the portion of the patch that adds more comments to the twod_stripe code for now.

Patch is against cvs head, and modifies the default num_groups to be 1
and the group_strip_factor = 1  so twod-stripe's defaults still work
when you use it on a single-server, it will now by default behave the
same as simple-stripe until the user modifies the num_groups and
strip_factor xattrs.

Also added a brief description of the definitions for the dist_params
in twod-stripe.

Tested fully functional on my servers.

/* twod-stripe will take all of the servers in the filesystem and
 * partition them into num_groups groups.  Data will then be striped to
 * each group before we move onto the next group.  The strip_factor will
 * determine how many chunks of strip_size are written to each server
 * in each group before we transition to the next group.
 * The striping on the group level is done round-robin in the same
 * fashion as simple-stripe
