Reading data stored at a free block of a storage device is read prior to allocating the free block for storage of data. A determination as to whether a number of bit flips of the data stored at the free block is below a threshold is made. The free block is added to a pool of active free blocks to be allocated for the storage of data upon determining that the number of bit flips of the data stored at the free block is below the threshold.

Data block allocation for storage system

A method for distributed file deletion or truncation, performed by a storage system, is provided. The method includes determining, by an authority owning an inode of a file, which authorities own data portions to be deleted, responsive to a request for the file deletion or truncation. The method includes recording, by the authority owning the inode, the file deletion or truncation in a first memory, and deleting, in background by the authorities that own the data portions to be deleted, the data portions in one of a first memory or a second memory. A system and computer readable media are also provided.
