Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for performing TRIM commands in a data storage system. An example data storage system can include physical storage including a solid state drive (SSD), and a storage system computer operably coupled to the physical storage. The storage system computer can include a processing unit and a memory operably coupled to the processing unit. The data storage system can further include a distributed volume management (DVM) module stored in the memory that, when executed by the processing unit, causes the processing unit to: allocate a logical volume from the physical storage; subdivide the logical volume into a plurality of logical blocks; maintain a mapping table for tracking the logical blocks of the logical volume; and in response to a predetermined event, execute a TRIM command for one or more unused data blocks of the SSD.
