    Abstract: A data storage system can connect a data storage controller to a host and a data storage device. A first reference state corresponding to a first zone of the data storage device can be incremented in response to a first version of data being assigned to the first zone by the data storage controller. A second version of the data may be written to a second zone of the data storage device prior to populating a recently freed list with the first zone having an incorrect reference state. The first zone can be allocated by the data storage controller for new data without altering the incorrect reference state that is subsequently written to the first zone as directed by the data storage controller.

    Abstract: A data storage erasure system may have a host connected to a plurality of data storage devices via a network controller with each of the plurality of data storage devices and the network controller connected to a pods controller and each of the plurality of the data storage devices having a device controller. A rebuild strategy can be generated with a rebuild module connected to the plurality of data storage devices, the network controller, and the pods controller. The rebuild strategy may be directed to minimize data rebuild times in the event of a failure in the plurality of data storage devices by executing the rebuild strategy in response to a detected or predicted failure in at least one data storage device of the plurality of data storage devices.

    Abstract: A method for mitigating the effects of malware is provided. The method includes determining a compressibility of a portion of data, determining a data corruption condition is satisfied based on the determined compressibility, and modifying a retention policy for retention of stored snapshots associated with the portion of data based on the satisfaction of the data corruption condition. The modifying of the retention policy includes generating a first snapshot associated with the portion of the data, prior to writing cached data associated with the portion of the data, writing the cached data associated with the portion of the data, and generating a second snapshot associated with the portion of the data, responsive to the deletion.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for multiple duration deduplication entries. A processor may be configured to perform data deduplication operations, including setting a first indicator for first metadata stored to a hash database identifying a first time interval to maintain the first metadata in the database, and setting a second indicator for second metadata stored to the database identifying a second time interval to maintain the second metadata in the database longer than the first time interval. The processor may remove the first metadata from the database when no duplicative data is detected for the first metadata within the first time interval, and remove the second metadata from the database when no duplicative data is detected for the second metadata within the second time interval.

    Abstract: Managing a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) storage array involves assigning first and second stripes to span respective first and second sets of disks. A subset of drives in the first set fails such that the first stripe is in a first state wherein a failure of another drive in the first set will lead to data loss in the first stripe. It is determined that the second stripe is in a fault-tolerant state such that the second stripe can have failures of two drives in the second set before the second stripe is in the first state, Part of an operational disk of the second set used by the second stripe is allocated to the first stripe to replace at least part of the subset of failed drives.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing data in a multi-device storage system, such as a RAID (redundant array of independent discs) system. Distributed data sets are stored across a plurality of storage devices. A selected storage device is replaced with a new storage device responsive to an anomalous event. A rebuild operation is performed to reconstruct data from the selected storage device to the new storage device. The rebuild process includes accessing a list of distributed data sets in a local memory. For each distributed data set in the list identified as constituting valid data, read commands are issued to the remaining storage devices and a write command is issued to the new storage device. For each distributed data set in the list identified as constituting unused data, a data clear command is issued to each of the remaining storage devices and to the new storage device.

    Abstract: A plurality of stripe zones are mapped across drives in an array. A capacity of each of the stripe zones is smaller than or equal to an average size of the drives. A failed drive is determined in the array. A deletable stripe zone is selected that is being used for user data storage. The deletable stripe zone is taken offline and used to rebuild a subset of the plurality of the stripe zones affected by the failed drive.
