Described are techniques for reconfiguring a storage device. A first plurality of parameters characterizing the storage device at a first point in time are received. The first plurality of parameters includes a first raw capacity and a first published capacity. The first raw capacity represents a physical storage capacity of the storage device. The first published capacity represents a logical storage capacity of the storage device. A second plurality of parameters is determined characterizing the storage device at a subsequent second point in time. The second plurality of parameters includes a second raw capacity and a second published capacity, The storage device is used at the first point in time as a device having the first plurality of parameters and at the second point in time as a device having the second plurality of parameters.
