Abstract
A method is used in managing data relocations in storage systems. A request is received to relocate a file system block of a file of a file system. The file includes a set of file system blocks. A determination is made as to whether the file system block has been identified for performing an operation on the file system block. The operation impacts the determination of whether to skip relocating of the file system block. Based on the determination, updating mapping information of the file system block is avoided upon relocation of the file system block.
