发明名称 Scheduling deduplication in a storage system
摘要 A system can maintain multiple queues for deduplication requests of different priorities. The system can also designate priority of storage units. The scheduling priority of a deduplication request is based on the priority of the storage unit indicated in the deduplication request and a trigger for the deduplication request.

主权项 1. A method comprising: determining storage unit priority for each of a plurality of storage units that have at least a threshold data amount, wherein the determination of priority is based, at least in part, on a threshold deduplication savings estimate; based on generation of a deduplication request, determining a scheduling priority for the deduplication request based, at least in part, on a trigger for the deduplication request, wherein a deduplication request with a changelog based trigger has a lower scheduling priority than a user related trigger and scheduling priority of a deduplication request with a changelog based trigger is also based, at least in part, on storage unit priority of a storage unit indicated in the deduplication request; based on a determination of resource availability, selecting requests in accordance with scheduling priority.
