Allocating rebuilding queue entries in a dispersed storage network
First Claim
1. A method for execution by a processing system in dispersed storage and task network (DSTN) that includes a processor, the method comprises:
- identifying a slice name of a slice in error of a set of slices stored in a set of dispersed storage (DS) units;
identifying a number of slice errors of the set of slices;
generating a queue entry that includes the slice name of the slice in error, a rebuilding task indicator, an identity of the set of slices, and the number of slice errors;
identifying a rebuilding queue based on the number of slice errors, wherein the rebuilding queue is associated with one of;
the set of DS units or another set of DS units; and
storing the queue entry in the identified rebuilding queue.

Abstract
A method for execution by a processing system in dispersed storage and task network (DSTN) that includes a processor, includes: identifying a slice name of a slice in error of a set of slices stored in a set of dispersed storage (DS) units; identifying a number of slice errors of the set of slices; generating a queue entry that includes the slice name of the slice in error, a rebuilding task indicator, an identity of the set of slices, and the number of slice errors; identifying a rebuilding queue based on the number of slice errors, wherein the rebuilding queue is associated with one of: the set of DS units or another set of DS units; and facilitating storing the queue entry in the identified rebuilding queue.

9. A processing system of a dispersed storage and task network (DSTN) comprises:
-
at least one processor; a memory that stores operational instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor cause the processing system to operations including; identifying a slice name of a slice in error of a set of slices stored in a set of dispersed storage (DS) units; identifying a number of slice errors of the set of slices; generating a queue entry that includes the slice name of the slice in error, a rebuilding task indicator, an identity of the set of slices, and the number of slice errors; identifying a rebuilding queue based on the number of slice errors, wherein the rebuilding queue is associated with one of;
the set of DS units or another set of DS units; andstoring the queue entry in the identified rebuilding queue. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises:
at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing system of a dispersed storage network (DSN) that includes a processor and a memory, causes the processing system to perform operations including; identifying a slice name of a slice in error of a set of slices stored in a set of dispersed storage (DS) units; identifying a number of slice errors of the set of slices; generating a queue entry that includes the slice name of the slice in error, a rebuilding task indicator, an identity of the set of slices, and the number of slice errors; identifying a rebuilding queue based on the number of slice errors, wherein the rebuilding queue is associated with one of;
the set of DS units or another set of DS units; andstoring the queue entry in the identified rebuilding queue. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
