Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include receiving a request to create a storage entity on a storage system, the storage entity including data and metadata, the metadata used to manage the storage entity. Upon receiving the request, multiple metadata attributes are identified for the metadata, and for each given identified metadata attribute, a respective metadata region is created on the storage system, and a subset of the metadata having the given metadata attribute is stored to the respective metadata region. Finally, a data region is created on the storage system, and the data is stored to the data region.
