Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to storage allocation in a storage system. One embodiment includes adaptively determining, by a storage device processor, a region height across disk spaces of a group of storage devices that is proportional to a number of connected storage devices. The storage device processor adaptively determines a region width across the disk spaces for the group of storage devices that is inversely proportional to a number of nodes sharing a particular storage device.
