Abstract
A method for managing data in a flash storage system includes reading multiple flash data units in the flash storage system. At least some host data units are stored in each flash data unit is associated with a workload by a metadata tag, and the host data units have dissimilar metadata tags. The method also includes identifying host data units having the same first metadata tag from the host data units read from the read flash data units. The same first metadata tag is stored with each identified host data unit at a time of writing each identified host data unit to a respective flash data unit, from which the identified host data unit was read. The identified host data units with same first metadata tag are written to a first available flash data unit in the flash storage system.
