Abstract
A distributed storage system executes write commands with respect to a storage volume mounted to an operating context. The storage volume is composed of a plurality of slices, each of which includes a plurality replicas. If a quorum of replicas are not available to execute a write command referencing a slice, acknowledgment of the write command is suppressed. However, read commands continue to be executed with respect to the slice and other slices of the storage volume. Likewise, write commands for other slices also continue to be executed. A storage manager maintains a state of each replica of each slice and manages restarting or reallocation of replicas that become unavailable.
