Abstract

See full text

A method begins by a processing module of a dispersed storage network (DSN), in response to issuing a write slice request for a send threshold number of encoded data slices (EDSs) to a set of storage units, receiving access responses from the set of storage units. The method continues with the processing module receiving less than a send threshold number of access responses within a first predetermined amount of time and issuing one or more additional write slice requests to one or more storage units of the set of storage units. When a send threshold number of EDSs have been stored in storage units of the set of storage units the method continues by determining a preservation threshold number of EDSs, where the preservation threshold number of EDSs is a number of EDSs of the set of EDSs that will be stored for at least a second predetermined amount of time, and the preservation threshold number of EDSs is less than the send threshold number of EDSs.
