Dispersing data and parity across a set of segments stored via a computing system

A computer readable memory comprises:

• at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a computing system that includes a processor and a memory, causes the computing system to perform operations that include:
• generating a plurality of lines of coding blocks that includes a plurality of data blocks and a plurality of parity blocks, wherein each of the plurality of lines of coding blocks includes a corresponding subset of data blocks of the plurality of data blocks and further includes a corresponding subset of parity blocks of the plurality of parity blocks, and wherein the corresponding subset of parity blocks of the plurality of parity blocks of the each of the plurality of lines of coding blocks is generated from the corresponding subset of data blocks of the each of the plurality of lines of coding blocks;
• generating a set of segments of a segment group that collectively include the plurality of lines of coding blocks, wherein different coding blocks of the each of the plurality of lines of coding blocks are included within different ones of the set of segments, and wherein the plurality of parity blocks are dispersed across all of the set of segments;
• and
• storing the set of segments via a plurality of nodes sets, wherein different segments of the set of segments are stored via memory resources of different node sets of the plurality of node sets.
