Abstract
A system can present computer storage resources as a consumer storage system, which abstracts resources as chunks in a chunkmanager, which abstracts resources in an uberstore, wherein the uberstore abstracts drives that implement a flexible data placement capability, and wherein the flexible data placement capability facilitates an effect of garbage collection that comprises deallocating data ranges that correspond to reclaim units that comprise groups of blocks. The system can, based on receiving a request to write to the consumer storage system, convert the request to the chunk manager and to the uberstore, and write data to the storage drives, comprising writing to groups of consecutive ubers of the uberstore to a same group of storage drives of the storage drives, via respective reclaim unit handles that correspond to the respective storage drives. The system can garbage collect chunks according to a chunk order and starting at an uber group boundary.
