Abstract
Systems and methods utilizing available storage space within a storage system (e.g., as 'supplemental' storage) and/or implement less physical storage space in the storage system (e.g., reduced storage overhead) through operation of fragment pre-storage techniques are disclosed. Such fragment pre-storage utilization of the aforementioned available storage space may provide operation emulating larger storage overhead than is actually provided in the storage system, facilitate improved repair rates, and/or facilitate reduced repair bandwidth in the storage system according to embodiments. A fragment pre-storage repair policy may implement source object repair whereby additional fragments for the source object are pre-generated and pre-stored in the storage system as transient fragments, whereby the transient fragments are moved to corresponding storage nodes when those storage nodes become physically present in the storage system.
