Abstract

Detecting a trend in latency for storage underlying a deduplicated file system includes generating a set of data points by recording when input/output (IO) requests were issued to the storage and recording time required to receive success responses from the storage. Least squares regression is performed on the data points to find a best-fit line through the data points. A slope of the best-fit line is calculated. A determination is made as to whether the slope is positive, a positive slope thereby indicating a trend of increasing latency of the storage. When the slope is determined to be positive, clients accessing the deduplicated file system are throttled.
