Abstract
A method for reallocating blocks in a storage pool involves copying multiple source blocks to multiple replacement blocks, where the source blocks are stored on a source disk in the storage pool, and where the replacement blocks are stored on one or more replacement disks in the storage pool, and generating an indirection object, where the indirection object includes a mapping of locations of the source blocks to locations of the replacement blocks.
