Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining an initial root slice for a storage system. A first data slice is defined for the storage system. The location of the first data slice of the storage system is identified within the initial root slice. A request for a supplement data slice within the storage system is received. A determination is made as to if the supplement data slice can be added within the storage system without defining a supplemental root slice for a storage system.
