ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting and correcting various data errors that may arise in a mass data storage apparatus comprising a set of physical mass storage devices operating as one or more larger logical mass storage devices. A method and apparatus is provided for detecting and reconstructing incorrectly routed data. A method and apparatus is also provided for detecting when one or more physical devices fails to write a block of data, and for reconstructing lost data.
