  • READ REQUEST RESPONSE FOR RECONSTRUCTED DATA IN A DEGRADED DRIVE
    Publication number: 20240152426
    Abstract: A method comprising: receiving a request to read data stored in an array of drives; determining that the data is stored on one or more degraded drives in the array; reconstructing the data from one or more drives in the array other than the degraded drives; providing the reconstructed data in response to the request; and after providing the reconstructed data, writing the reconstructed data to one or more drives in the array other than the degraded drives.
    Type: Application

  • Affinity-based cache operation for a persistent storage device
    Patent number: 11914519
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to a method comprising: receiving a request to write data to a persistent storage device, the request comprising data; determining an affinity of the data; writing the request to a cache line of a cache; associating the cache line with the affinity of the data; and reporting the data as having been written to the persistent storage device.
