Systems and methods for distributing information across failure domains in servers

摘要

The disclosed computer-implemented method for distributing information across failure domains in servers may include (1) dividing, at a computing device, each of a quantity of “K” failure domains (FDs) in a plurality of FDs into a quantity of “P” portions, where the “K” FDs in the plurality of FDs are constituent parts of respective servers in a plurality of servers, “P” is less than “K,” and “P” is a sum of a quantity of “M” data portions and a quantity of “N” parity portions, (2) creating a quantity of “K” erasure-coded volumes in the “K” FDs, where each erasure-coded volume includes “M” data portions and “N” parity portions, and each portion in each erasure-coded volume is stored in a different FD and (3) combining the “K” volumes to create a file system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
