A method for performing auto-repair of a data volume may include determining a number of unavailable shards from a plurality of shards associated with a data volume. The plurality of shards may be stored in a plurality of data centers. The data volume may be erasure-coded with a total of N shards and can be reconstructed using at least K available shards out of the N shards. The unavailable shards may be filtered to exclude shards that have been unavailable for less than a threshold amount of time. For each of the plurality of data centers, a total number of unavailable shards may be determined if the data center is disabled. The total number of unavailable shards may be based at least in part on a number of shards associated with the data volume and stored at the data center, and a number of the filtered unavailable shards stored at the remaining plurality of data centers.
