ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and systems, as well as methods and articles, may operate to respond to a write request from a disk I/O process with write completion status from a RAID sub-system after writing update data associated with the write request to a data strip in a stripe associated with the RAID sub-system and before writing a parity strip update value to a parity strip in the stripe, a Q strip update value to a Q strip in the stripe, or both.
