Erasure codes offer an efficient way to decrease storage and communication costs while implementing atomic memory service in asynchronous distributed storage systems. In this paper, we provide erasure-code-based algorithms having the additional ability to perform background repair of crashed nodes. A repair operation of a node in the crashed state is triggered externally, and is carried out by the concerned node via message exchanges with other active nodes in the system. Upon completion of repair, the node re-enters active state, and resumes participation in ongoing and future read, write, and repair operations. To guarantee liveness and atomicity simultaneously, existing works assume either the presence of nodes with stable storage, or presence of nodes that never crash during the execution. We demand neither of these; instead we consider a natural, yet practical network stability condition $N1$ that only restricts the number of nodes in the crashed/repair state during broadcast of any message. We present an erasure-code based algorithm $RADON_C$ that is always live, and guarantees atomicity as long as condition $N1$ holds. In situations when the number of concurrent writes is limited, $RADON_C$ has significantly improved storage and communication cost over a replication-based algorithm $RADON_R$, which also works under $N1$. We further show how a slightly stronger network stability condition $N2$ can be used to construct algorithms that never violate atomicity. The guarantee of atomicity comes at the expense of having an additional phase during the read and write operations.
