A storage system 101 has a storage area V to be shared between computer systems S, such as servers. The shared storage area may be distributed over a number of shared storage devices Da. The storage system detects that there is unused space on a dedicated storage device Db attached to one of the computer systems. It then makes that space part of the shared storage area. If the rate of use of the space on the dedicated storage device, which is not part of the shared storage area, is greater than a predetermined rate, then the shared are may be removed from the dedicated storage device. |
