Abstract

Methods and systems for data reconstruction following drive failures may include: storing data across two or more drives in one or more data stripes, each data stripe including two or more drive extents; detecting a degradation of a drive containing a drive extent associated with a first data stripe; assigning a reconstruction priority to the drive extent associated with the first data stripe; detecting a degradation of a drive containing a drive extent associated with a second data stripe; and assigning a reconstruction priority to the drive extent associated with the second data stripe.
