STORING DATA IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PERFORMANCE THRESHOLD

摘要

In response to a write operation for a set of encoded data slices, a method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module determining whether to use a performance threshold number of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices. When the performance threshold number of encoded data slices is to be used, the method continues with the DS processing module determining the performance threshold number of encoded data slices and sending a performance threshold number of initial phase write requests to storage units. When a write threshold number of write responses are received, the method continues with the DS processing module sending a number of next phase write requests to the storage units, where the number of next phase write requests is equal to or greater than the write threshold number and is less than or equal to the performance threshold number.
