Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for detecting a failed storage device within an “n” device array. The “n” device array is configured to store “n” device array formatted data. The “n” device array is reconfigured into an “n−1” device array. The “n” device array formatted data is written to the “n−1” device array in an “n−1” device array format.
