Abstract:
A set of storage devices, comprising:means for reading contents from a subset A of the set of storage devices;means for writing a set of values to a subset B of the set of storage devices;said subset A of the set of storage devices and said subset B of the set of storage devices not having a storage device in common;means for determining, by applying a write function to said contents of said subset A of the set of storage devices and to a first determined value that is to be contained in the set of storage devices, a second value that is to be written to said subset B of the set of storage devices;means for reading contents from a subset C of the set of storage devices;said subset A of the set of storage devices and said subset C of the set of storage devices having at least one storage device in common;said subset B of the set of storage devices and said subset C of the set of storage devices having at least one storage device in common; andmeans for determining, by applying a read-function to said contents of said subset C of the set of storage devices, a set of values that is actually contained in the set of storage devices.
