PREVIOUS WORK RAID array were he fir dik array orgaizaio o uilize eraure codig i order o roec daa agai dik failure [PGK88, G9, SB9, CL9].

A i ize grow, he raio bewee he umber of faal rile failure ad he oal umber of rile failure will quickly decreae: i become le ha erce for ad le ha. erce for 8. Le u ow coider which ye of quadrule failure will be faal. Thee ye will iclude:. The failure of a daa dik, i wo ariy dik ad ay oher dik: Fig. how of hee Tye failure.. The failure of wo daa dik i he ame row or colum ad heir ariy dik i he oher dimeio: Fig. how oe of hee Tye failure;. The failure of four daa dik formig a quare: Fig. 6 how oe of hee Tye failure. Ou of he oible quadrule failure he array ca exeriece, we ca eumerae:. Tye failure;. Tye failure;. Tye failure. A we oberved for rile failure, he erceage of faal quadrule failure alo decreae wih he ize of he array: i become le ha erce for ad le ha. erce for 8. Oe obviou way o icreae he reliabiliy of wodimeioal array would be o elimiae all faal rile failure ad reduce a much a oible he umber of faal quadrule failure. Le u how how i ca be doe a a fairly low co. Aume ha we add o he array a addiioal uerariy device coaiig he ariy of all daa dik.

While Wildai e al. meioed ha heir orgaizaio would have o read all daa dik i a uer-grou whe uig i uer-ariy device [WS9], our wo-dimeioal array will erform all i recovery oeraio o a row or a colum bai. Le u coider how he ew array would hadle he failure of a daa dik ad i wo ariy dik.

A we oberved before, he fracio of faal quadrule failure alo decreae wih he ize of he array: i become le ha erce for ad le ha. erce for 8. Thi i four ime le ha he erceage of faal failure we oberved o he origial array wihou a uerariy device. Thi reducio i largely due o he lower umber of Tye faal quadrule failure, which were for he origial array bu oly for he array wih a uerariy device. Le u ow ur our aeio o quiule failure ad eumerae which oe will reul i a daa lo. Thee faal failure will coi of all quadrule faal failure lu ay oher dik.

A our aim i o meaure he imac of he uerariy device o wo-dimeioal array reliabiliy, we will ar by evaluaig he reliabiliy of wo-dimeioal array wihou uerariy device. A. Our Model Our yem model coi of a array of dik wih ideede failure mode. Wheever a dik fail, a reair roce i immediaely iiiaed for ha dik. Should everal dik fail, he reair roce will be erformed i arallel o hoe dik. We aume ha dik failure are ideede eve ad are exoeially diribued wih mea.

IMPLEMETATIO ISSUES A we meioed earlier, he mai limiaio of our ew cheme i i oor wrie hroughu: ice he uerariy device coai he ariy of all daa dik, i mu be udaed each ime ay daa dik i udaed. Hece he wrie hroughu of he whole array i equal o he hroughu of i uerariy device. We already rooed oe way o miigae hi roblem: i coi of diablig uerariy device udae while he archive i oulaed a well a every ime a igifica fracio of he ored daa mu be udaed. The uerariy device would he lay he role of a lock ecurig he archived daa. We would ulock he archive wheever i i beig udaed ju a we oe a coveioal file cabie whe we wa o acce i coe. Oce he udae i comleed, we would udae he ariy device ad reur he archive o i locked ae. Eve he, he daa would remai roeced agai all oible double-dik failure ad mo rile failure, which i ill beer ha ay RAID level oluio. A a reul, he rocedure would have a miimal imac o he MTTDL of he array a log a i remai roeced by i ariy device mo of he ime. Oher oio are oible. Fir, we could ue orage cla memory for he ariy device. Thee ew device are execed o have acce ime of he order of ad acce rae bewee ad, megabye er ecod [7]. Their uerior erformace would grealy reduce he eed for diablig uerariy device udae. Uforuaely, he higher reliabiliy of hee device will o have a direc imac o he MTTDL of he array becaue mo faal quadrule failure are failure of Tye ad ha do o ivolve he uerariy device. We would ill oberve a mall icreae i he MTTDL of he array becaue orage cla memorie are immue o irrecoverable read error. A ecod oluio alie o all archive requirig more ha oe wo-dimeioal RAID array. We could form grou of k array uch ha he uerariy device of each array would coai /k of he uerariy daa of each array. Thi would mulily by k he maximum wrie hroughu of each array bu o he maximum wrie hroughu of he whole archive.

8 VI. COCLUSIO We have reeed a wo-dimeioal RAID archiecure ha i ecifically ailored o he eed of archival orage yem. Our rooal ar wih a fairly coveioal wo-dimeioal RAID archiecure where each dik belog o exacly oe horizoal ad oe verical RAID level rie. Oce he array ha bee oulaed, we add a uerariy device ha coai he excluive OR of all he coe of all horizoal or verical ariy dik. The ew orgaizaio olerae all rile dik failure ad early all quadrule ad quiule dik failure. A a reul, i rovide MTTDL A lea hiry ime beer ha hoe o a wodimeioal array wihou uerariy device; A lea 69 ime beer ha hoe of a e of RAID level 6 rie wih equal caaciy ad comarable ariy overhead. Our ex ak will be o cofirm our reul hrough dicree imulaio. Thi would allow u o coider imedeede failure rae ad arbirary reair ime diribuio ad would rovide u wih cofidece ierval for he robabiliy ha a give wo-dimeioal RAID array will oerae durig i ueful lifeime wihou exeriecig a daa lo.
