Abstract:
When a logical capacity of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory is increased, after a logical capacity which is allocated to a RAID group but unused is released, the RAID group is reconfigured to include the released logical capacity and the increased logical capacity. When the logical capacity of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory is reduced, after the reduced logical capacity is released from the RAID group, the RAID group is reconfigured with the released logical capacity.
