Abstract:
Embodiments for efficient garbage collection in a data storage environment. In a storage system comprising multiple storage devices having respective sets of storage regions, at least one respective storage fragmentation threshold used to trigger a garbage collection operation is identified. The garbage collection operation is performed to reclaim data space in the storage system according to each of a block perspective and an area perspective. The block perspective performs the garbage collection operation on individual blocks of data and the area perspective performs the garbage collection operation on a plurality of the blocks in a respective storage region. The block perspective and the area perspective portions of the garbage collection operation are executed independently of one another.

Claim (Index 12):
The system of  claim 9 , wherein the processor triggers the garbage collection operation of the area perspective on the plurality of blocks within the respective storage region when it is determined that the second, fragmentation percentage threshold comprising a percentage level of tolerated wasted space due to fragmentation in the given region has been surpassed.
