Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a computer system to:
identify resource contention for a resource in a storage system;
determine that a workload collection that employs data reduction is consuming the resource;
identify contributions to consumption of the resource attributable to storage volumes in the storage system, wherein the workload collection that employs the data reduction is performed on data of the storage volumes, wherein the identifying of the contributions comprises:
identifying a first contribution to consumption of the resource attributable to a first storage volume of the storage volumes, and
identifying a second contribution to consumption of the resource attributable to a second storage volume of the storage volumes;

determine whether storage space savings due to application of the data reduction for a given storage volume of the storage volumes satisfy a criterion; and
in response to determining that the storage space savings for the given storage volume do not satisfy the criterion, convert the given storage volume from a first type storage volume for which data reduction can be applied to a second type storage volume for which data reduction is not to be applied.
