Abstract
Techniques are provided for metadata page allocation by storing a portion of a bitmap of metadata pages in memory. One method comprises obtaining a request to allocate metadata pages of a metadata storage volume; identifying at least one bit, corresponding to an unallocated metadata page, in a given chunk of a bitmap of metadata pages associated with the metadata storage volume, wherein the given chunk of the bitmap is stored in memory and comprises a portion of the bitmap; updating a bit value of the identified at least one bit to indicate the allocation of the metadata pages of the metadata storage volume; and initiating an allocation of the metadata pages. The bitmap may be allocated to a designated size, and each bit of the bitmap may indicate whether a corresponding metadata page of the metadata storage volume is allocated or unallocated.
