Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to a file system driven RAID rebuild technique. A layered file system may organize storage of data as segments spanning one or more sets of storage devices, such as solid state drives (SSDs), of a storage array, wherein each set of SSDs may form a RAID group configured to provide data redundancy for a segment. The file system may then drive (i.e., initiate) rebuild of a RAID configuration of the SSDs on a segment-by-segment basis in response to cleaning of the segment (i.e., segment cleaning). Each segment may include one or more RAID stripes that provide a level of data redundancy (e.g., single parity RAID 5 or double parity RAID 6) as well as RAID organization (i.e., distribution of data and parity) for the segment. Notably, the level of data redundancy and RAID organization may differ among the segments of the array.

Abstract translation: 本文描述的实施例涉及文件系统驱动的RAID重建技术。 分层文件系统可以将数据的存储组织为跨越存储阵列的一组或多组存储设备（例如固态驱动器（SSD））的段，其中每组SSD可以形成RAID组，其被配置为提供数据冗余 一段 然后文件系统可以响应于段的清除（即，段清除）逐个段地驱动（即，启动）重建SSD的RAID配置。 每个段可以包括一个或多个提供数据冗余级别（例如，单个奇偶校验RAID 5或双奇偶校验RAID 6）的RAID条带以及用于该段的RAID组织（即，数据和奇偶校验的分配）。 值得注意的是，数据冗余和RAID组织的级别可能在阵列的各个部分之间不同。
