    摘要: Techniques for storage management may include: adding first storage devices to a pool, wherein prior to adding the first storage devices to the pool, the pool includes second storage devices with existing physical storage units (PUs) distributed across the second storage devices; and in response to adding the first storage devices to the pool, performing processing to evenly distribute the existing PUs among the pool of storage devices, said processing including: defining logical pairs of storage devices in accordance with rules; binding each of the logical pairs to a resiliency set; determining that a first PU of the existing PUs includes disk slices that span across more than a single resiliency set; andin response to determining that the first PU includes disk slices that span across more than a single resiliency set, performing second processing to restripe the first PU in accordance with a target layout.

    摘要: A technique is directed to storing data on a plurality of storage devices of a data storage array. The technique involves, on each storage device of the plurality of storage devices, providing large disk extents and small disk extents for allocation to RAID extents. The technique further involves forming, from the large disk extents, a user-data RAID extent to store user data for the data storage array. The technique further involves forming, from the small disk extents, an internal-metadata RAID extent to store internal metadata for the data storage array. In some arrangements, spare space is reserved on one or more storage devices between large and small disk extents.
