    摘要: A billing process is disclosed for a information dispersal system or digital data storage system. In one embodiment of the invention, the original data to be stored is separated into a number of data “slices” or shares in such a manner that the data in each subset is less usable or less recognizable or completely unusable or completely unrecognizable by itself except when combined with some or all of the other data subsets. These data subsets are stored on separate digital data storage devices as a way of increasing privacy and security. As dispersed file shares are being stored or removed from a grid of distributed storage locations, a set of metadata tables are created, separate from the dispersed file share storage, to maintain information about the original data size of each block, file or set of file shares dispersed on the grid. The original data size information in these separate metadata tables is used to determine usage information based upon the original file size even though the file has been dispersed onto a storage grid that contains file slices who size may not relate to the original file size and the file slices may have been compressed by the system in order to reduce storage space or improve transmission time. As such, the billing process is able to enable a broad range of commercial billing options for billing for commercial data services on an information dispersal grid.

    摘要: A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module determining whether to complete downloading of a data segment of multi-media content to an accessing device that possess a partial set of encoded data slices. When the downloading is to be completed, the method continues with the DS processing module determining a user set of encoded data slices, wherein the user set of encoded data slices includes first and second sub-sets of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices, determining whether encoded data slices of the partial set of encoded data slices substantially matches encoded data slices of the first sub-set of encoded data slices, and when the encoded data slices of the partial set of encoded data slices substantially matches encoded data slices of the first sub-set of encoded data slices, sending the second sub-set of encoded data slices to the accessing device.

    摘要: A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module determining storage device failure information for a plurality of storage devices within a maintenance free storage container, wherein the maintenance free storage container allows for multiple storage devices of the plurality of storage devices to be in a failure mode without replacement and wherein the storage device failure information indicates storage devices of the plurality of storage devices that are in the failure mode. The method continues with the DS processing module maintaining a dynamic container address space of the maintenance free storage container based on the storage device failure information. The method continues with the DS processing module managing mapping of container addresses of the dynamic container address space to dispersed storage network (DSN) addresses of an assigned DSN address range.

    摘要: A method begins by a processing module determining failure mode information for a plurality of storage modules of a maintenance-free storage container. The method continues with the processing module managing storage mapping information of data content within the plurality of storage modules based on the failure mode information and receiving a data access request. The method continues with the processing module interpreting the data access request based on the storage mapping information to identify one or more of the plurality of storage modules to produce one or more identified storage modules and generating an in-container data access request based on the data access request and the one or more identified storage modules. The method continues with the processing module sending the in-container data access request to the one or more identified storage modules.
