Abstract
Techniques are provided for dynamic over-provisioning of storage devices. One method comprises obtaining a partitioning of a storage device associated into a first partition and an over-provisioning partition based on an over-provisioning ratio of the storage device, wherein portions of the over-provisioning partition are reallocated as portions of the first partition to replace portions of the first partition; storing user data associated with write operations in the first partition; monitoring a size of the over-provisioning partition; and dynamically adjusting the size of the over-provisioning partition in response to the size of the over-provisioning partition reaching a threshold. The dynamically adjusting the size of the over-provisioning partition may comprise reducing a size of the first partition. The reducing the size of the first partition may comprise the operating system reducing a size of the first partition and reallocating the reduced size of the first partition to the over-provisioning partition.
