Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying at a pre-allocation module a size of object data to be stored within a storage node, identifying at the pre-allocation module file system parameters associated with the storage node, calculating at the pre-allocation module pre-allocated details needed for storing the object data within the storage node, utilizing the size of the object data and the file system parameters associated with the storage node, and sending the object data and the pre-allocated details from the pre-allocation module to the storage node.
