Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying an erasure code storage policy for an unified file and object storage system, determining a plurality of storage disks associated with the erasure code storage policy, retrieving disk health parameters for each of the plurality of storage disks, identifying a number of available outer partition storage blocks for each of the plurality of storage disks, and determining a number of erasure code fragments to be stored for a file within the unified file and object storage system before initiating an objectization process on the file, utilizing the disk health parameters for each of the plurality of storage disks and the number of available outer partition storage blocks for each of the plurality of storage disks.
