    Abstract: Sharing encryption information amongst storage devices in a storage system, including: detecting that one or more source storage devices has been designated for removal from the storage system; and responsive to detecting that the source storage devices have been designated for removal from the storage system: encrypting a device key for each remaining storage device using a master secret to generate an encrypted device key for each remaining storage device; generating, for each write group, a first plurality of shares from the master secret; creating, from each share of the first plurality of shares, a second plurality of shares equal to a minimum number of the remaining storage devices required from each write group for a quorum to boot the storage system; and storing, for each remaining storage device, the encrypted device key and a respective share of the second plurality of shares in the remaining storage devices.

    Abstract: Selecting storage resources based on data characteristics, including: determining, for data that is stored within a storage system that includes multiple types of data storage, a storage type to use for the data, wherein: the data is associated with one more snapshots that are stored in the storage system, and the determination is based on whether the data that is stored in at least one volume in the storage system, wherein one storage type is selected if the data is stored in at least one volume and another storage type is selected if the data is not stored in at least one volume; and storing the data in a storage device associated with the determined storage type.

    Abstract: Protecting an encryption key for data stored in a storage system that includes a plurality of storage devices, including: reading, from at least a majority of the storage devices, a portion of an apartment key; reconstructing the apartment key using the portions of the apartment key read by the majority of the storage devices; unlocking the main portion of each of the storage devices utilizing the apartment key; reading, from the main portion of one of the storage devices, a portion of a third-party resource access key; requesting, from the third-party resource utilizing the third-party resource access key, an encryption key; receiving, from the third-party resource, the encryption key; and decrypting the data stored on the storage devices utilizing the encryption key.

    Abstract: A first namespace is generated on a particular storage device of the plurality of storage devices for storing configuration data for a storage system. The first namespace is accessible by one or more storage controllers of the storage system. A second namespace is generated on the particular storage device for storing other data at the particular storage device. The configuration data is stored in the first namespace and the other data is stored in the second namespace.
