    Abstract: Some examples described herein relate to reclamation of storage in a thin provisioned storage device. In an example, a determination may be made that storage space provisioned to a logical unit number (LUN) by a thin provisioned storage device is freed by a file system managing file system operations in the LUN. Storage space freed by the file system may be marked. Amount of marked storage space that may be released to the thin provisioned storage device may be determined, based on i) difference between rate of allocation and rate of release of storage blocks by the file system in the LUN, and ii) usage level of storage blocks in the thin provisioned storage device. The determined amount of marked storage space may be released to the thin provisioned storage device.

    Abstract: For storing data in a storage device, a storage allocation request may be received. The storage allocation request may include a logical offset of data to be stored. Further, a chunk size of the storage device and a device offset for a free region on the storage device may be received. An offset value may be computed based on the chunk size, file system block size, the device offset, and the logical offset. A device start address, for storing the data in response to the storage allocation request, can be determined by offsetting the device offset with the offset value.
