Abstract
Example implementations relate to allocating an I/O request. In an example, a demultiplexer may forward an I/O request to a file system instance to which the I/O request belongs. The file system instance may tag the I/O request with a file system instance identifier associated with that file system instance. A volume manager may identify an extent pool to which the I/O request is to be allocated from among a plurality of extent pools of a storage based on the file system instance identifier tagged to the I/O request.
