A method and device for maintaining data in a data storage system, comprising a plurality of data storage nodes, the method being employed in a storage node in the data storage system and comprising: monitoring and detecting, conditions in the data storage system that imply the need for replication of data between the nodes in the data storage system; initiating replication processes in case such a condition is detected, wherein the replication processes include sending multicast and unicast requests to other storage nodes, said requests including priority flags, receiving multicast and unicast requests from other storage nodes, wherein the received requests include priority flags, ordering the received requests in different queues depending on their priority flags, and dealing with requests in higher priority queues with higher frequency than requests in lower priority queues.
