Abstract
An example method for optimizing data deletion in a storage system comprises: detecting a command to delete data from a storage volume using a file system, the data stored on one or more blocks within a storage device associated with the storage volume; monitoring a load metric associated with the storage volume, the load metric indicative of a dynamically changing operational load of the storage volume; and initiating, based on the detecting the command and on the monitored load metric, a discard request for the storage device, the discard request commanding the storage device to indicate that the one or more blocks are free for use by the file system to store additional data.
