Abstract:
A method begins by a processing module initiating storage of a data object in two or more storage sets. The method continues with the processing module updating synchronization status for the two or more storage sets when detecting failure to store at least a minimum number of encoded data slices to enable recovery from one of the storage sets. The method continues with the processing module determining to resynchronize the two or more storage sets. The method continues with the processing module identifying a data object requiring resynchronization. The method continues with the processing module identifying a latest available revision associated with the data object and facilitating storage of the identified latest available revision of the data object in at least one storage set requiring the latest revision to satisfy the resynchronization.
