摘要： A method begins by a set of storage units of a dispersed storage network (DSN) storing a plurality of encoded data slices, where each storage unit stores a unique sub-set of encoded data slices. The method continues with each storage unit dispersed storage error encoding at least a recovery threshold number of encoded data slices to produce a local set of encoded recovery data slices. In response to a retrieval request, the method continues with a device identifying a storage unit of an initial recovery number of storage units having a rebuilding issue and determining whether the rebuilding issue is correctable at a DSN level. When the rebuilding issue is correctable at the DSN level the method continues with the device selecting another storage unit to replace the storage unit to produce a recovery number of storage units and sending retrieve requests to the recovery number of storage units.

摘要： A method for evolving dispersed storage network (DSN) memory in a DSN begins by a processing module generating tracking information by tracking evolutionary change of storage units of the DSN memory, performance and reliability requirements of the DSN memory, and memory utilization of the DSN memory.

摘要： A method begins by a processing module storing a set of encoded data slices in storage units. A data segment of data is encoded, in accordance with dispersed storage error encoding parameters, to produce the set of encoded data slices. The dispersed storage error encoding parameters include a decode threshold number and a pillar width number, which is at least twice the decode threshold number. The method continues with the processing module processing a first request for retrieval of the data segment by retrieving a first sub-set of encoded data slices, which includes the decode threshold number, and decoding them to produce a first recovered data segment. The method continues with the processing module processing a second request for retrieval of the data segment by retrieving a second sub-set of encoded data slices, which includes the decode threshold number, and decoding them to produce a second recovered data segment.

摘要： A method begins with a processing module obtaining data to store and determining whether substantially similar data to the data is stored. When the substantially similar data is not stored, the method continues with the processing module generating a first encryption key based on the data, encoding the first encryption key into encoded data slices in accordance with an error coding dispersal storage function, and storing the encoded data slices in a dispersed storage network (DSN) memory. The method continues with the processing module encrypting the data using an encryption key of the substantially similar data in accordance with an encryption function to produce encrypted data, compressing the encrypted data in accordance with a compression function to produce compressed data, storing the compressed data when the substantially similar data is stored.

摘要： A method begins by a processing module sending a transaction verification request to the set of dispersed storage (DS) units, wherein the transaction verification request includes a transaction number that corresponds to a particular dispersed storage network (DSN) access request. The method continues with the processing module receiving transaction verification responses from at least some of the set of DS units to produce received transaction verification responses. The method continues with the processing module identifying an undesired condition with processing the DSN access request and initiating a corrective remedy for the undesired condition when a DS unit of the set of DS units does not provide a desired transaction verification response.
