    摘要: A method for responding to a security threat for a maintenance free storage container begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module identifying a security threat for the maintenance free storage container, wherein the maintenance free storage container allows for multiple storage servers of a plurality of storage servers to be in a failure mode without replacement. The method continues with the DS processing module determining a failure mode level that is indicative of whether one or more of the multiple storage servers are in the failure mode. The method continues with the DS processing module selecting a security threat countermeasure based on the security threat and the failure mode level. The method continues with the DS processing module implementing the security threat countermeasure.

    摘要: A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module detecting a storage error of an encoded data slice associated with a storage server within a maintenance free storage container. The method continues with the DS processing module determining failure mode information for the storage server and other storage servers and determining a rebuilding protocol for the encoded data. When the determined rebuilding protocol is a zero information gain (ZIG) protocol, the method continues with the DS processing module identifying a decode threshold number of storage servers from the other storage servers of the maintenance free storage container and from storage servers of another maintenance free storage container, retrieving zero information gain (ZIG) partial encoded data slices from the decode threshold number of storage servers, and decoding the ZIG partial encoded data slices utilizing a ZIG dispersed storage error coding function to reproduce the encoded data slice.
