ABSTRACT:
A dynamically upgradeable fault-tolerant storage system permits a storage device to be replaced with a larger storage device. Data stored redundantly across multiple storage devices is reproduced on the replacement device, and the additional storage space on the replacement device is made available for redundantly storing additional data.
