Abstract
A dispersed storage network (DSN) includes multiple storage units. A processing unit included in the DSN issues an access request to one of the storage units, and identifies the storage unit as a failing storage unit based, at least in part, on a rate of growth of a network queue associated with the storage unit. the processing unit then issues an error indicator to a recovery unit for further action.
