The presently disclosed subject matter includes various inventive aspects, which are directed to direct read access of a host computer device to a share storage space in a data storage system, as well as control of the direct read of the host computer device by a control computer device in the data storage system.

Direct read control in a data storage system

According to an aspect of the presently disclosed subject matter, there is provided a system for managing data in a storage system, the system including a storage layer which provides storage resource, and a snapshot layer that includes: a volume-version data structure, a chunk-version data structure and a IO handler.

Managing data in a storage system

There is provided a computerized method, computerized system, a non-transitory program storage device and a computer program product for enabling allocation of segments in a RAID stripe to respective storage devices in a corresponding RAID group. A randomized distribution scheme is generated for randomly distributing the data segments and syndrome segments in a RAID stripe to respective storage devices in the RAID group. The randomized distribution scheme is used for distributing the segments in the at least one RAID stripe to the storage devices in the RAID group, such that any two failed storage devices in the RAID group would have the same first probability (P) for being protected by the same type-1 syndrome segment and the same second probability (1-P) for each one of the two failed storage devices being protected by a different type-1 syndrome segment, irrespective of the relative location of the two failed storage devices.
