Abstract
Data protection super-slices with super-parityare created from sets of two RAID slices a, b of width W that each include slice parity,. The tracks of each super-slice are distributed across the disks of a disk cluster of width 2W+1, and the same number of indexed sequences. Each of the indexed sequences contains one super-slice with the slice tracks a, b distributed according to a fixed sequence in order from a start pointer to a stop pointer. The start pointer and the stop pointer are shifted one place for each successive indexed sequence. The fixed sequence may be characterized by slice track adjacency or be interleaved, e.g., (a b b a a a a a b b b b a b b b a a b a b b a a) or (a b a b b a b b b b a a a b a a a b a a a b b b).
