Abstract
A method of managing storage space for a metadata consistency checking procedure (MCCP) is provided. The method includes (a) tracking an amount of metadata and an amount of user data organized by the metadata; (b) provisioning a quantity of storage dedicated to the MCCP based, at least in part, on a ratio of the amount of metadata to the amount of user data; and (c) upon initiation of the MCCP, building tracking structures within the provisioned storage dedicated to the MCCP. An apparatus, system, and computer program product for performing a similar method are also provided.
