Abstract

A system can determine a first correlation between respective percentages of stored garbage and respective amounts of garbage of a block storage system based on determining the respective amounts of garbage among first blocks of the respective blocks that satisfy respective criterions of the respective percentages of stored garbage. The system can, based on the first correlation, determine a second correlation between an estimated throughput applicable to reclaiming garbage in the block storage system and the respective amounts of garbage of the block storage system. The system can, based on the first correlation and the second correlation and for a specified target reclamation throughput, determine a corresponding first percentage of stored garbage of the respective percentages of stored garbage. The system can perform copy-forward garbage collection on second blocks of the block storage system that satisfy a criterion defined with respect to the first percentage of stored garbage.
