Predicting durability in DHTs using Markov chains
We consider the problem of data durability in lowbandwidth large-scale distributed storage systems. Given the limited bandwidth between replicas, these systems suffer from long re...

Understanding Latent Sector Errors and How to Protect Against Them
Latent sector errors (LSEs) refer to the situation where particular sectors on a drive become inaccessible. LSEs are a critical factor in data reliability, since a single LSE can ...

A Clean-Slate Look at Disk Scrubbing
A number of techniques have been proposed to reduce the risk of data loss in hard-drives, from redundant disks (e.g., RAID systems) to error coding within individual drives. Disk ...

Enhancing data availability in disk drives through background activities
Latent sector errors in disk drives affect only a few data sectors. They occur silently and are detected only when the affected area is accessed again. If a latent error is detect...
