Abstract
Methods, systems, and other aspects for using a failed storage device in a peer-to-peer (P2P) storage system to perform a storage-centric task. For example, a method may include, responsive to a detection of a failed storage device in a P2P storage system, determining, by the failed storage device, that a storage-centric task is assigned to the failed storage device; and performing, by the failed storage device, the storage-centric task responsive to P2P communications with a functioning storage device in the P2P storage system.
