  • Method and system utilizing quintuple parity to provide fault tolerance
    Patent number: 11531591
    Abstract: An error correction and fault tolerance method and system for an array of disks is presented. The array comprises k+5 disks, where k disks store user data and 5 disks store computed parity. The present invention further comprises a method and a system for reconstituting the original content of each of the k+5 disks, when up to 5 disks have been lost, wherein the number of disks at unknown locations is E and the number of disks wherein the location of the disks is known is Z. All combinations of faulty disks wherein Z+2×E?4 are reconstituted. Some combinations of faulty disks wherein Z+2×E?5 are either reconstituted, or errors are limited to a small list.
    Type: Grant
