DISPERSED STORAGE SYSTEM WITH SUB-VAULTS AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

A method for execution by one or more processing modules of a dispersed storage network (DSN) includes receiving a data access request for at least one data segment stored in the DSN. A vault associated with data access request is identified along with one of a plurality of sub-vaults associated with the vault. Access information corresponding to the one of the plurality of sub-vaults is retrieved to determine whether the access request is allowed. When the access request is allowed, a sub-vault directory associated with the one of the plurality of sub-vaults is retrieved to identify a DSN address corresponding to the data access request, and fulfilling the data access request based on the DSN address.

1. A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
receiving a data access request for at least one data segment stored in the DSN; identifying a vault associated with the data access request and one of a plurality of sub-vaults associated with the vault; retrieving access information corresponding to the one of the plurality of sub-vaults to determine whether the data access request is allowed; when the data access request is allowed, retrieving a sub-vault directory associated with the one of the plurality of sub-vaults to identify a DSN address corresponding to the data access request, and fulfilling the data access request based on the DSN address.
