A system including a storage drive and a semiconductor apparatus coupled to the storage drive, is provided. The semiconductor apparatus may include one or more substrates and logic coupled to the one or more substrates, the logic coupled to the one or more substrates to: initiate managing resources of the storage drive and, if the storage drive loses capacity, determine an amount of capacity loss, create a reserved file that is associated with logical memory space in a file system, based on the amount of the capacity loss, and erase at least a portion of the reserved file so that logical memory space associated with an un-erased portion of the reserved file is usable by the storage drive.

Technology to manage capacity loss in storage drives

According to various aspects, a storage system is provided, the storage system including a multiplicity of storage devices, and one or more processors configured to store user data on the multiplicity of storage devices, the stored user data being distributed among the multiplicity of storage devices together with redundancy data and with log data; generate a classification associated with the redundancy data and the log data to provide classified redundancy data and classified log data, and write the classified redundancy data and the classified log data on the respective storage device of the multiplicity of storage devices according to the classification associated therewith.
