Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A new data block to be stored in the dispersed storage system is received. When it is determined that a previous data segment contains sufficient space for the new data block, the previous data segment is retrieved from a plurality of dispersed storage units. A revised data segment is generated by aggregating the new data block with at least one existing data block of the previous data segment. A plurality of slices are generated for the revised data segment. The plurality of slices are stored in the plurality of dispersed storage units.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for use in a dispersed storage system, the method comprising: receiving a new data block to be stored in the dispersed storage system; determining when a previous data segment contains sufficient space for the new data block; when the previous data segment contains sufficient space for the new data block: retrieving the previous data segment from a plurality of dispersed storage units at a corresponding plurality of different geographical locat…
