Abstract
For dynamic capacity allocation of stripes in cluster-based storage system, a storage controller identifies a storage stripe in a cluster-based storage system that has a smallest stripe score of a plurality of storage stripes. The storage controller also identifies a storage stripe in the cluster-based storage system that has a largest stripe score of the plurality of storage stripes, and reallocates, in response to a difference between the largest stripe score and the smallest stripe score being less than a threshold value, free-space capacity from a donator stripe to a receiver stripe.
