Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module determining storage device failure information for a plurality of storage devices within a maintenance free storage container, wherein the maintenance free storage container allows for multiple storage devices of the plurality of storage devices to be in a failure mode without replacement and wherein the storage device failure information indicates storage devices of the plurality of storage devices that are in the failure mode. The method continues with the DS processing module maintaining a dynamic container address space of the maintenance free storage container based on the storage device failure information. The method continues with the DS processing module managing mapping of container addresses of the dynamic container address space to dispersed storage network (DSN) addresses of an assigned DSN address range.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
