Abstract
Example distributed storage systems, controller nodes, and methods provide hierarchical blacklisting of storage system components in response to failed storage requests. Storage elements are accessible through hierarchical storage paths traversing multiple system components. Blacklisted components are aggregated and evaluated against a hierarchy threshold at each level of the hierarchy and all components below the component are blacklisted if the hierarchy threshold is met. Blacklisted components are avoided during subsequent storage requests.
