Abstract
Techniques can include: receiving host write I/Os; and performing processing that persistently records the host write I/Os on a log device including a metadata log for storing metadata portions for the host write I/Os. The processing can include: aggregating, in a write aggregation queue, log write requests that write metadata portions for the host write I/Os in a segment of metadata log entries of the metadata log of the log device; and responsive to determining that i) the log write requests corresponding to the segment write an amount of metadata equal to a maximum size, or ii) a maximum amount of time has elapsed during said aggregating, sending an aggregated write request to the metadata log of the log device, wherein the aggregated write request writes the metadata portions to the segment of metadata log entries. The maximum size can denote an integrated unit size of the log device.
