Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program for performance efficient and resilient creation of network attached storage objects on a storage system, the computer program including a set of instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising the steps of:
determining a number of storage volumes to pre-provision in an operating system of the storage system;
interacting with an operating system interface to pre-provision the number of storage volumes in the operating system of the storage system;
after the number of storage volumes are pre-provisioned, receiving a request for a storage volume; and
allocating one of the pre-provisioned storage volumes in response to receipt of the request for the storage volume;
wherein determining the number of storage volumes to pre-provision in the operating system of the storage system includes a first component based on a regression between storage volume usage and time, and a second component deterministically based on scheduled filesystem creation events in an upcoming time interval.
