Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include configuring, at a first time, a clustered storage system comprising multiple modules to store and process storage requests for respective sets of data objects. While processing the storage requests, respective subsets of the data objects having one or more data errors are identified, and at a second time subsequent to the first time, respective modules storing each of the data objects having at least one data error are identified. computing, based on the identified modules, a frequency distribution of the identified data errors in the data objects over the multiple modules. Based on the frequency distribution, a failure in a given module is identified, and the identified module is removed from the storage system. In some embodiments, prior to the second time, the data objects can be redistributed among the modules of the storage system.
