Abstract
Predicting failures in a storage system that includes a plurality of storage devices, including: gathering information describing a plurality of blocks within the storage devices; developing, using the information describing the plurality of blocks within the storage devices and information describing known dead block conditions, a block lifespan model; and determining, in dependence upon the information describing the plurality of blocks within the storage devices and the block lifespan model, a predicted lifespan for the plurality of blocks within the storage devices.
