Abstract: A method begins by a set of storage units of a dispersed storage network (DSN) storing a plurality of encoded data slices, where each storage unit stores a unique sub-set of encoded data slices. The method continues with each storage unit dispersed storage error encoding at least a recovery threshold number of encoded data slices to produce a local set of encoded recovery data slices. In response to a retrieval request, the method continues with a device identifying a storage unit of an initial recovery number of storage units having a rebuilding issue and determining whether the rebuilding issue is correctable at a DSN level. When the rebuilding issue is correctable at the DSN level the method continues with the device selecting another storage unit to replace the storage unit to produce a recovery number of storage units and sending retrieve requests to the recovery number of storage units.

Abstract: A user device sends a data file, which has already been divided into multiple different data portions, to be stored in a dispersed storage network (DSN). The DSN includes multiple dispersed storage (DS) processing units, which in turn are each used to manage multiple DSN memories. Portion affiliation information, which can be stored in a data structure maintained by a DS managing unit, is used to determine particular DS processing units will handle storage and retrieval of particular data portions. The data portions are encoded by the assigned DS processing unit into at least a write threshold number of encoded slices, and stored in the DSN memories in accordance with the portion affiliation information.

Abstract: A method obtains at least part of a file from a dispersed storage network (DSN) memory, and stores it in a data object cache. When the file is changed, a determination is made about where to store the changed file portions: in the data object cache or in the DSN. The changed file portions, for example a new copy of the part of the file obtained from the DSN, are encoded utilizing an error coding dispersal storage function, and stored in either the data object cache, or in the DSN memory.

Abstract: A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module determining memory space utilization state of logical storage nodes of a dispersed storage network DSN. When a logical storage node is in an over-utilized memory space utilization state and another logical storage node is in an under-utilized memory space utilization state, the method continues with the DS processing module selecting the other logical storage node to produce a selected logical storage node and reassigning a portion of a DSN address range assigned to the selected logical storage node to a logical storage node that is in an average memory space utilization state to create an address free logical storage node. The method continues with the DS processing module reassigning address blocks assigned to the logical storage node that is in the over-utilized memory space utilization state to the address free logical storage node.
