Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and computing system for managing wear balance in a mapped RAID storage system. According to embodiments, mapped RAID extents, which are comprised of storage disk extents, are assigned to particular mapped RAID groups based on one or more parameters related to wear experienced by disk extents associated with the RAID extent. Endurance parameters are measured and can be used by machine learning modules to predict future wear levels enabling predictive wear balancing in mapped RAID storage systems. Embodiments can be used when initially forming a mapped RAID group, when adding storage to an existing mapped RAID group, or when managing the ongoing performance of a mapped RAID group or storage system.
