Abstract:
A method begins by a storage unit of a dispersed storage network (DSN) receiving a lock request from a distributed storage (DS) processing unit associated with the DSN for an encoded data slice (EDS) of a set of encoded data slices (EDSs). The method continues with the storage unit determining whether a lock request has previously been granted for the EDS and when a lock request has not been previously granted for a slice name associated with the EDS, transmitting, by the storage unit, a favorable lock request response to the DS processing unit and locking the slice name associated with the EDS. The method continues with storage unit receiving a persist message indicating that the DS processing unit has received a write threshold number of favorable lock request responses for the set of EDSs.

Claim (Index 7):
The storage unit of  claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to execute the operational instructions to:\n determine whether to one or more other storage units storing one or more other EDSs of the set of EDSs has previously granted a lock request for the slice name associated with the EDS; in response to a determination that one or more other storage units storing one or more other EDSs of the set of EDSs has previously granted a lock request for slice name associated with the EDS, transmit a message to the DS processing unit, wherein the message to the DS processing unit includes information sufficient to indicate that one or more other storage units storing one or more other EDSs of the set of EDSs has previously granted a lock request for slice name associated with the EDS to the DS processing unit.
