Multiple error resiliency put operation with early confirmation

At least one machine readable storage medium containing program code that when processed by at least one processor causes a method to be performed, the method comprising:

• receiving a PUT operation request from a user to store a data item;
• sending S PUT commands to S storage devices to respectively store S replicas or extents for the data item;
• confirming to the user that the data item was stored after receiving X acknowledgments from the S storage devices where X<S;
• in response to a crash, reading non volatile records for the S storage devices that record successful stores performed by the S storage devices having corresponding acknowledgements that were not responded to;
• recognizing from the non volatile records that less than S of the S replicas or extents were successfully stored into the S storage devices;
• and,
• causing those of the S replicas or extents that were not successfully stored to be stored to complete the PUT operation.
