The algorithm continues determining whether more diagonal blocks can be re-created. The
upper left block is re-created from row parity, and RAID-DP can proceed in re-creating the
gray diagonal block in column two, row two, as shown in Figure 10-13.
Figure 10-13 RAID-DP reconstruction simulation of gray block column two
RAID-DP recovers the gray diagonal block in column two, row two. Adequate information is
now available for row parity to re-creating the missing horizontal white block (one) in the first
column, row two, as shown in Figure 10-14.
