Abstract
A method for storage systems improvement includes collecting information that indicates one or more failure correlations for disks in a storage system. The disks are then separated into a plurality of virtual failure domains based on the indicated one or more failure correlations. The method then determines that all data objects of a set of redundant data objects are included in a first virtual failure domain. Responsive to determining that all data objects of the set of redundant data objects are included in the first virtual failure domain, the method then migrates at least one data object of the set of redundant data objects from a first disk in the first virtual failure domain to a second disk in a second virtual failure domain.
