Resolving Storage Inconsistencies For A Set Of Encoded Data Slices

Abstract:

A method includes determining, by a computing device of a storage network, a storage inconsistency exists for a set of encoded data slices based on an indicator of a difference list, where the difference list is regarding storage of the set of encoded data slices within a set of storage units of the storage network and where a data segment is error encoded into the set of encoded data slices. The method further includes determining a storage resolution of a plurality of storage resolutions for the storage inconsistency based on the one or more indicators. The method further includes facilitating the storage resolution to resolve the storage inconsistency for the set of encoded data slices.
