Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to reducing or eliminating emergency capacity usage in a storage system by including an in-process space reclamation and/or one or more mitigation mechanisms. The in-process space reclamation can be implemented in addition to a background space reclamation. The one or more mitigation mechanisms can be associated with a basis for write requests. The in-process space reclamation and/or mitigation mechanisms allow for lowering emergency capacity reservation, thus saving storage costs.
