Abstract

See full text

A method and system for service-aware data placement. The method includes receiving a service notification specifying a target SD and, after receiving the service notification, receiving a request to write data, writing a RAID stripe that includes data blocks and a parity block, where the parity block is not stored on the target SD and none of the data blocks is stored on the target SD. The method further includes performing a modified garbage collection operation that includes identifying a live RAID stripe with includes N data blocks, writing a new RAID stripe that includes N−1 data blocks and a second parity block, where the second parity block and none of the N−1 data blocks is stored on the target SD, and issuing a removal notification that indicates that the target SD may be removed.
