Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for transferring data. A described technique includes determining that a first replica of an object stored at a first host has become available to a distributed storage system after previously being unavailable to the distributed storage system. The object includes a range of memory addresses at which data of the object is stored. In response to determining that the first replica has become available, resyncing data for the first replica is obtained. The resyncing data indicates whether each range of memory addresses is synchronized at the first replica with other replicas of the object. Tracking data for the first replica is obtained. The tracking data indicates whether data stored at the range of memory addresses of the object has been modified at a second replica while the first replica was unavailable. The resyncing data is updated based on the tracking data.
