1. A method, in a data processing system, for replicating writing of a file with striping, the method comprising: writing a file at an owner node within a plurality of nodes in a data processing system; dividing the file into a plurality of file chunks; identifying at least one replication node within the plurality of nodes having a duplicate copy of a respective file chunk within the plurality of file chunks; selecting a plurality of replication nodes for the plurality of file chunks based on identification at least one replication node within the plurality of nodes having a duplicate copy of a respective file chunk; and replicating the file at the plurality of replication nodes based on the selection of the plurality of replication nodes.
