Abstract
A scalable storage infrastructure may be provided by dynamically adjusting the size of a storage volume implemented across one or more storage devices. When data is added to or removed from the storage volume, the system may compare the current amount of data stored on the volume to a threshold value. Then storage capacity may then be adjusted so as to accommodate future storage requests without maintaining an inefficiently large amount of reserved but unused storage space.
