Abstract
A storage system comprises a plurality of storage nodes each comprising one or more storage devices and a processor coupled to a memory. The storage system is configured to store data blocks across the storage devices of the storage nodes utilizing a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) arrangement. At least a given one of the storage nodes is configured to store a plurality of RAID metadata bitmaps in persistent storage of the storage node so as to be available for a recovery operation in the event of a detected failure, to identify a particular subset of the RAID metadata bitmaps to be updated in conjunction with an additional operation other than the recovery operation, and to temporarily store the identified subset of the RAID metadata bitmaps in the memory of the storage node in a manner determined based at least in part on an operation type of the additional operation.
