  - The main challenges include efficient reconstruction of data sub-portions, minimizing storage overhead, and ensuring fast error correction processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Intra-block error correction including generating reconstructed sub-portions of a portion of a dataset that is distributed into a plurality of portions that are stored on different storage devices of the storage system, wherein the dataset indicates a first number of errors that is greater than a second number of parity data portions of the dataset, determining that a sub-portion of the dataset does not match a corresponding reconstructed sub-portion of the dataset; and based on the determination, replacing the sub-portion of the dataset with the reconstructed sub-portion of the dataset.
