Abstract
A data storage system continually monitors a loading level of processing requests from host computers relative to a predetermined threshold. In response to the loading level not exceeding a predetermined threshold, a first identification request is responded to with a full response identifying all data blocks over a first complete range of a first bulk storage operation. In response to the loading level exceeding the predetermined threshold, a second identification request is responded to with a partial response identifying a subset of data blocks over only a portion of a second complete range of a second bulk storage operation. The partial response causes a host to first process the subset of data blocks and then send an additional identification request for additional blocks of the second complete range, effectively reducing the rate of bulk storage operations and their effect on other, latency-sensitive operations such as reads and writes.
