Abstract
Data protection with meta chunks increases capacity use efficiency without verification and data copying. In one aspect, a meta chunk is a data protection unit, which combines two or more source chunks that are determined to have a reduced sets of data fragments. The meta chunk can be encoded to generate a set of coding fragments, which can be stored and utilized to recover data fragments of any of the two or more source chunks. Further, the source chunks can be linked to the meta chunk. Furthermore, the sets of coding fragments, that were previously generated by individually encoding each source chunk, can be deleted.
