    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure enable high availability and performance in view of storage controller failure. A storage system includes three or more controllers that may be distributed in a plurality of enclosures. The controllers are in high availability pairs on a per volume basis, with volumes and corresponding mirror targets distributed throughout the storage system. When a controller fails, other controllers in the system detect the failure and assess whether one or more volumes and/or mirror targets are affected. If no volumes/mirror targets are affected, then write-back caching continues. If volume ownership is affected, then a new volume owner is selected so that write-back caching may continue. If mirror target ownership is affected, then a new mirror target is selected so that write-back caching may continue. As a result, write-back caching availability is increased to provide low latency and high throughput in degraded mode as in other modes.

    Abstract: A method, a computing device, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium for replacing an unreadable sector in a storage system is provided. In some embodiments, the method includes identifying a sector from a plurality of sectors in a physical memory of a storage device in a storage system as an unreadable sector. An unreadable sector is a sector that includes data that had been corrupted and cannot be recovered from data in the storage system. In some embodiments, the unreadable sector is recovered by receiving a copy of a sector identified as the unreadable sector from a cloud storage, where the copy of the sector stores readable data and the cloud storage is a separate storage from the storage system. The method then includes replacing the unreadable sector with the copy at the sector at a memory location in the physical memory occupied by the unreadable sector.

    Abstract: A system and method for improving the management of data input and output (I/O) operations for Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) devices in a network storage system is disclosed. The storage system includes a storage controller that receives a series of write requests for data blocks to be written to non-sequential addresses within a pool of SMR devices. The storage controller writes the data blocks from the series of write requests to a corresponding sequence of data clusters allocated within a first data cache of the storage controller for a thinly provisioned volume of the pool of SMR devices. Upon determining that a current utilization of the first data cache's data storage capacity exceeds a threshold, the sequence of data clusters including the data blocks from the first data cache are transferred to sequential physical addresses within the SMR devices.
