Abstract
An apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to monitor write request operations directed to at least one storage volume of a storage system, and to identify, utilizing a sampling rate determined based at least in part on a volume size of the storage volume, a subset of the write request operations. The at least one processing device is also configured to determine changes to storage capacity counters for portions of the storage volume that are written to by the subset of the write request operations, to generate estimates for overall storage capacity counters for the storage volume based on (i) the determined changes to the storage capacity counters for the portions of the storage volume that are written to by the subset of the write request operations and (ii) the sampling rate, and to adjust characteristics of the storage system based on the generated estimates.
