Abstract

See full text

A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module transmitting a set of write commands for storing a set of encoded data slices in storage units of a dispersed storage network (DSN) and determining whether at least a first threshold number of write responses have been received within a response time period. When the at least the first threshold number of the write responses have been received within the response time period, the method continues with the DS processing module determining whether a total number of responses have been received within another response time period. When the total number of responses have not been received within the other response time period, the method continues with the DS processing module issuing a sub-set of write commit commands corresponding to a response number of encoded data slices for which a response was received.
