1. A method for use in a distributed storage network (DSN) including a plurality of distributed storage task execution (DST EX) units, each of the plurality of DST EX units employing a plurality of memory portions to store encoded data slices, the method comprising:

  • detecting, by a DST EX unit, a physical storage failure associated with an affected memory portion of a storage unit included in the DST EX unit;

    determining, by the DST EX unit, a memory portion identifier of the affected memory portion;

    identifying, by the DST EX unit, at least a range of impacted encoded data slices associated with the affected memory portion; and

    issuing, by the DST EX unit, rebuilding information to the DSN, the rebuilding information includes at least one identifier associated with at least one impacted encoded data slice included in the at least a range of impacted encoded data slices.
