Abstract
A request to create a volume to store data is received. A block within the storage node is selected, dependent at least in part on metadata indicating regions of available storage space in a storage node, to associate with a volume. Information is generated that includes an address to the block. A second computer system is determined to lacks the address to the block. The second computer system is enabled, by providing at least a portion of the information to the second computer system, to perform an operation to the block.
