20140122440 | RECOVERING DATA FROM CORRUPTED ENCODED DATA SLICES - A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module receiving a set of encoded data slices, where some of the encoded data slices have an integrity issue such that less than a decode threshold number of encoded data slices have valid integrity. The method continues with the DS processing module creating partial coded matrices from the set of encoded data slices and generating partial decoding matrices. The method continues with the DS processing module generating a test data matrix based on the partial coded matrices and the partial decoding matrices, encoding the test data matrix into a set of test encoded data slices, and generating integrity information for the set of test encoded data slices. When the integrity information is valid, the method continues with the DS processing module utilizing the test data matrix as a data matrix and converting the data matrix into a recovered data segment. | 05-01-2014 |
20140122636 | BALANCING STORAGE NODE UTILIZATION OF A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK - A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module determining memory space utilization state of logical storage nodes of a dispersed storage network DSN.

The method continues with the DS processing module generating internal verification requests in accordance with the internal verification access rate, coordinating the internal verification requests and the access requests for accessing the memory device, and accessing the memory device based on the internal verification requests to verify the data blocks. | 05-01-2014 |
20150066875 | UPDATING DE-DUPLICATION TRACKING DATA FOR A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK - A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module of a dispersed storage network (DSN) determining whether a change has occurred to a data object of a set of data objects. When a change has occurred, the method continues with the DS processing module accessing de-duplication tracking data for the set of data objects. When the change is deletion of an identified data object of the set of data objects, the method continues with the DS processing module determining whether the identified data object is the only data object in the set of data objects. When the identified data object is not the only data object in the set of data objects, the method continues with the DS processing module updating the linking information to delete linking the identified data object to addressing information. | 03-05-2015 |
