Abstract
A method for managing metadata blocks of file system entities (FSEs), the method includes (i) determining, by a processing circuit of a storage system, a stress level that is non-linearly dependent upon a fullness of static FSE metadata blocks and a fullness of dynamic FSE metadata blocks, wherein the static FSE metadata blocks store FSE metadata items of a first type and the dynamic FSE metadata blocks store FSE metadata items of a second type and additional FSE metadata items of a first type; (ii) determining, based on the stress level and a fullness parameter, a probability of applying a conditional compression process on a new FSE metadata block; and (iii) applying the conditional compression process, based on the probability, on the new FSE metadata block.
