Abstract:
A dispersed storage network (DSN) includes determining to update an index node of a dispersed hierarchical index in accordance with a pending update, and when the updating of the index node is not successful, generating a task entry of a task queue associated with the index node, storing the task entry in the task queue. The method continues by subsequently accessing the index node by identifying a DSN address of the index node, issuing a set of read slice requests to a set of storage units utilizing the DSN address of the index node, receiving read slice responses, and decoding index node slices of the received read slice responses to reproduce the index node, determining whether the task queue associated with the index node includes at least one task entry, initiating updating of the index node, and deleting the at least one task entry from the task queue.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1  further comprises indicating that the updating was unsuccessful due to any of: not receiving a write threshold number of favorable write slice responses or a conflict with another writer.
