摘要： A method and system for allocating storage space from storage devices within a computer system. The storage devices are grouped into respective homogeneous sets in which identical storage devices are included in the same homogeneous set. In accordance with the method and system, following receipt of an allocation request for storage space one or more stored response values are checked, the response values associated with at least one homogeneous set. The stored value or values represent the average response time of storage devices within the set. The homogenous set with the lowest average response time is selected. One or more stored allocation values are then checked that are associated with at least one storage device within the selected homogeneous set. The stored allocation value or values represent the current allocations of the associated storage device. The storage device is selected with the lowest current allocations and the storage space is allocated in the first available location on the selected device.
