Abstract

See full text

A computer reduces data fragmentation on a thin provisioned storage system. The computer receives a storage request. The computer determines a virtual storage size based at least in part on the received storage request. The computer creates an assigned virtual list that includes a list of reserved physical storage locations associated with the storage request. The computer further receives a WRITE command, and responsive to the WRITE command, allocates storage based at least in part on the created assigned virtual list.
