Most large-scale storage systems employ erasure coding to provide resilience against disk failures. Recent work has shown that tuning this redundancy to changes in disk failure rates leads to substantial storage savings. This process…
As storage systems grow in size, device failures happen more frequently than ever before. Given the commodity nature of hard drives employed, a storage system needs to tolerate a certain number of disk failures while maintaining data…
