Claim 13:
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein responsive to determining the current amount of consumed storage of the storage group does exceed the threshold amount of consumed storage denoted by the first parameter, second processing is performed, wherein the second processing includes:
determining a second amount by which to increase the current storage capacity of the storage group;
determining whether allocating the second amount of storage capacity results in a current amount of consumed backend non-volatile storage exceeding the system-wide threshold of consumed backend non-volatile storage denoted by the second parameter; and
responsive to determining that allocating the second amount of storage capacity results in the current amount of consumed backend non-volatile storage exceeding the system-wide threshold of consumed backend non-volatile storage denoted by the second parameter, determining not to expand the current storage capacity of the storage group.
