Abstract
Methods, apparatus and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include defining, in a storage system including multiple storage devices, multiple redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations for data stored on the storage devices. A first one of the multiple RAID configurations is assigned to a first entry in a partition table having multiple entries. Assigning the first one of the multiple RAID configurations to the first entry in the partition table comprises modifying an existing RAID configuration for the first entry. Data referenced by the existing RAID configuration is migrated to the modified RAID configuration.
