Abstract
Example storage systems and methods provide data storage management using generation markers in a key data store. A key data store includes a set of key data entries that each include a key value and a property value associated with a storage operation. An active generation of the key data entries include an active generation marker and a base generation does not. A base storage parameter is calculated from a data scan and a current storage parameter is calculated from the base storage parameter and the property values of the active generation of key data entries. The calculated storage parameter may be reported to manage storage configuration and operations in the storage system.
