Abstract

See full text

Embodiments relate to correcting erasures in a storage array. An aspect includes dividing data into a plurality of stripes for storage in a storage array comprising a plurality of storage locations, each stripe comprising M rows and N columns, each of the M rows including a number r of row parities, wherein r is greater than zero. Another aspect includes dividing each stripe into two or more column sets, each column set comprising a respective set of one or more columns of the stripe. Another aspect includes adding a respective first responder parity to each column set, wherein each first responder parity gives parity information for only the two or more columns in the first responder parity's respective column set. Yet another aspect includes, based on an isolated erasure in a column set, correcting the isolated erasure by reading data from only storage locations corresponding to the column set in which the isolated erasure occurred using the first responder parity of the column set.
