Abstract
Embodiments are directed to in-place erasure code transcoding for distributed file systems. A file system may be divided into a first partition associated with a first erasure code and a second partition second partition is associated with a second erasure code. If the second partition has sufficient storage space to store protection groups further actions may be performed, including: determining block stores in the first partition associated with the protection groups; transcoding contents of the block stores into other block stores based on the second erasure code; storing the other block stores in the second partition; deleting the block stores from the first partition; shifting another portion of the storage space from the first partition to the second partition such that the shifted other portion increases a size of the second partition to provide sufficient storage space for other protection groups; or the like.
