The techniques described herein are configured to improve the remanufacturing process by waiting to rebuild selective data items stored on a storage device that is unavailable. A storage device is unavailable when it is taken offline and/or disconnected from a network. The storage device may be taken offline due to a failed component (e.g., an actuator arm, an actuator head, damage to the underlying storage media, etc.). The storage device comprises multiple independent logical units, where a logical unit is a uniquely addressable portion of a storage device that is visible and/or that is exposed to a host. Accordingly, the techniques described herein are configured to conserve resources by selectively rebuilding data items stored in logical units of an offline storage device that are not affected by a remanufacturing process implemented due to a failed component.

Maintenance of storage devices with multiple logical units

Determination logic for a cloud content states framework is described herein. In implementations, a framework is configured to perform operations for management of cloud content files at the computing device on behalf of cloud storage providers. Determination logic for the framework is utilized to make state determinations in dependence upon a defined set of file sync properties. The framework operates to make assessments of the file sync properties and set states for files in accordance with the assessments. In implementations, file sync properties are related to corresponding states through a mapping data structure that maps file sync property values to different states and enables look-ups of states based on property values. The framework utilizes and references the mapping data structure to match file sync properties identified for cloud content files to corresponding states and then set states for the cloud content files accordingly.
