Abstract
A method includes a storage unit (SU) of a dispersed storage network (DSN) receiving and storing a first modification for an encoded data slice (EDS) associated with the SU and assigning an identifier for the first modification. The method continues with the SU receiving and storing a second modification for the EDS and assigning an identifier for the second modification. The method continues with the SU receiving a request to relocate the EDS to another SU of the DSN. The method continues with the SU transmitting the EDS to the another SU of the DSN, followed by transmitting the first modification for the EDS and the identifier to the another SU of the DSN in a first message. The method continues with the SU transmitting the second modification with the identifier for the second modification to the another SU of the DSN in a second message, where the second message is separate from the first message.
