Abstract
A method is used in managing storage device mappings in storage systems. A set of mappings is created in a distributed storage system. The distributed storage system stores data in a redundant manner at more than one location on a set of storage devices by using a set of stripes. Each stripe of the set of stripes indicates a data slice stored on a storage device. Each mapping of the set of mappings identifies information regarding location of data on a storage device for a stripe. The mapping is stored on the set of storage devices.
