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 13):
The system of  claim 12 , wherein the processor, prior to triggering the garbage collection operation of the area perspective, orders given areas of the given storage region requiring the garbage collection operation according to predetermined metrics; wherein the metrics include at least a fragmentation level and an age of the data of the given area.
