Abstract:
A method comprises receiving a set of write fan out requests for a plurality of sets of encoded data slices and metadata regarding storage parameters for the plurality of sets of encoded data slices. The method continues by identifying an encoded data slice of the plurality of sets of encoded data slices based on a desired manipulation of the encoded data slice. The method continues by determining whether the metadata provides a restriction regarding the desired manipulation of the encoded data slice. When the metadata does not provide the restriction regarding the desired manipulation of the encoded data slice, the method continues by determining whether execute the desired manipulation of the encoded data slice based on a storage operational condition. The method continues by executing the desired manipulation of the encoded data slice when the storage unit determines to execute the desired manipulation of the encoded data slice.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for execution by a storage unit (SU), the method comprising:\n receiving, via an interface of the SU that is configured to interface and communicate with a dispersed or distributed storage network (DSN) and from a device via the DSN, a write fan out request of a set of write fan out requests for a set of encoded data slices (EDSs) and metadata regarding storage parameters for the set of EDSs; identifying an encoded data slice (EDS) of a plurality of sets of encoded data slices (EDSs) stored by the SU based on a desired manipulation of the EDS, wherein the SU is included in a first set of SUs (SUs) within the DSN; determining whether metadata provides a restriction regarding the desired manipulation of the EDS, wherein the metadata is regarding storage parameters for the set of EDSs of a plurality of sets of EDSs for which the set of write fan out requests is received by the first set of SUs within the DSN, wherein the set of write fan out requests is sent to the first set of SUs from the device via the DSN; based on a first determination that the metadata does not provide the restriction regarding the desired manipulation of the EDS, determining whether to execute the desired manipulation of the EDS based on a storage operational condition that is based on at least one of storage reliability, data access rates, disk failure, or available memory of SUs associated with the plurality of sets of EDSs; and based on a second determination to execute the desired manipulation of the EDS, executing the desired manipulation of the EDS.
