Abstract:The primary mechanism for overcoming faults in modern storage systems is to introduce redundancy in the form of replication and/or error correcting codes. The costs of such redundancy in hardware, system availability and overall complexity can be substantial, depending on the number and pattern of faults that are handled. In this paper, we describe a system that seeks to use disk failure avoidance to reduce the need for costly redundancy by using adaptive heuristics that predict such failures. While a number o… Show more
