摘要: Disclosed is a shared, front-end, distributed RAID. A multiple storage request receiver module (2302) receives at least two requests from clients (114) to store file or object data in one more devices (150) of device set (1604). The are concurrent and have portion the common. (1604) includes autonomous forming RAID group. Each capable independently receiving client over network (116). striping (2304) calculates stripe pattern writes N segments per (150). parity-mirror (2306) (1602). sequencer (2308) ensures completion first prior executing second request.
