Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A processing system in a dispersed storage network is configured to access write sequence information corresponding to a write sequence; determine whether to elevate a priority level of the write sequence; when the processing system determines to elevate the priority level of the write sequence, elevate the priority level of the write sequence; determine whether to lower the priority level of the write sequence; and when the processing system determines to lower the priority level of the write sequence, the processing system lowers the priority level of the write sequence.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for execution by a dispersed storage and task (DST) processing unit that includes a processor, the method comprises: accessing, via the processor, write sequence information corresponding to a write sequence; determining, via the processor, whether to elevate a priority level of the write sequence; when the processor determines to elevate the priority level of the write sequence, the processor elevates the priority level of the write sequence…
