Abstract
A system and method for maintaining storage object consistency across a distributed storage network including a migratable repository of last resort which stores a last or only remaining data replica that may not be deleted. The method includes the steps of monitoring data requests to the repository of last resort, deciding whether to move the repository of last resort, and migrating the repository of last resort.
