Abstract
A virtual storage volume that includes storage space on potentially many different physical disks may be implemented as one or more chunks. This allows for dynamic volume storage adjustment. Dynamic volume storage adjustment allows for increasing volume size without moving data unnecessarily. In addition, dynamic volume storage adjustment also allows freeing up storage space in a node with minimum movement of data.
