  • a plurality of computing devices communicatively coupled to each other via a network, wherein;

    each of said plurality of computing devices comprises one or more of a plurality of storage devices;

    a plurality of failure resilient address spaces are distributed across said plurality of storage devices such that each of said plurality of failure resilient address spaces spans a plurality of said storage devices;

    each one of said plurality of failure resilient address spaces is organized into a plurality of stripes; and

    each one or more stripes of said plurality of stripes is part of a respective one of a plurality of forward error correction (FEC) protection domains, wherein said plurality of computing devices are operable to rank said plurality of stripes, wherein said rank is used for selection of which of said plurality of stripes to use for a next commit to said particular one of said plurality of failure resilient address spaces.
