Abstract
A plurality of logical storage segments of storage drives of a plurality of storage nodes are identified. At least one of the storage nodes includes at least a first logical storage segment and a second logical storage segment included in the plurality of logical storage segments. A distributed and replicated data store using a portion of the plurality of logical storage segments that excludes at least the second logical storage segment is provided. An available storage capacity metric associated with the plurality of logical storage segments is determined to meet a first threshold. In response to the determination that the available storage capacity metric meets the first threshold, at least the second logical storage segment is dynamically deployed for use in providing the distributed and replicated data store in a manner that increases a storage capacity of the data store while maintaining a fault tolerance policy of the distributed and replicated data store.
