Abstract

See full text

A method begins with a set of storage units receiving a plurality of sets of non-locking write requests from a plurality of computing devices. The method continues with each storage unit storing an encoded data slice of a respective one of the non-locking write requests of each set and sending a write response regarding the respective one of the non-locking write requests. The method continues with a computing device determining whether a threshold number of write responses regarding a corresponding one of the plurality of sets of non-locking write requests has an expected ordering indication. When the threshold number of write responses has the expected ordering indication, the method continues with the computing device sending a set of write finalize requests to the set of storage units to facilitate finalizing storing the set of encoded data slices of the corresponding one of the plurality of sets of non-locking write requests.
