Abstract
Techniques are described for reserving space on a destination node or volume for increasing the likelihood of a successful data transfer in a distributed storage environment. A reservation may be retried at one or more destinations if the reservation fails at a first destination. In some embodiments, the data-transfer process can be paused or terminated prior to data being transferred to one or more destinations if a reservation fails. Reserving space on a destination node or volume can increase the likelihood of a successful data transfer, which can increase the likelihood of efficient resources usage in a storage system.
