Abstract
A method of uniquely identifying data blocks or groups of data blocks wherein a unique characteristic of the group or block is encoded according to an application of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. According to a particular application, physical addresses of sectors on a hard disk are encoded by applying the Chinese Remainder Theorem, thereby providing a highly robust and fault tolerant means for locating the sectors.
