ABSTRACT:
A method for storing data in a fault-tolerant storage subsystem having an array of failure independent data storage units, by dividing the storage area on the storage units into a logical mirror area and a logical stripe area, such that when storing data in the mirror area, duplicating the data by keeping a duplicate copy of the data on a pair of storage units, and when storing data in the stripe area, storing data as stripes of blocks, including data blocks and associated error-correction blocks.
