Abstract
A method and system for initiating a garbage collection request. Historical data representative of a level of initiated I/O requests is acquired. A first operational state and a second operational state are determined based on the historical data. The first operational state and second operational state are expressed in an indication of the level of initiated I/O requests to be processed. A number of currently initiated I/O requests is acquired. A determination is made as to whether the number of currently initiated I/O requests is indicative of the first operational state or the second operational state. If the computer system is in the first operational state, the garbage collection request is initiated.
