Identifying lost write errors in a raid array
Abstract:
A data access request is received specifying a data block stored in a stripe of a parity group that includes a plurality of data storage devices to store data blocks and a parity storage device to store parity information for the data. The stripe includes a data block from each of the plurality of data storage devices and the stripe includes a parity block from the parity storage device. An error is detected in the data block specified by the data access request. The error is identified as a lost write error for the data block or a lost write error for the parity block. Identifying the error includes comparing a first storage device signature stored in a metadata field associated with the data block to a second storage device signature stored in a label block identifying a data storage device where the data block is stored.
