Abstract
An apparatus comprises one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media for facilitating garbage collection-driven volume thinning. The program instructions, when executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least generate deduplication data referenced to a plurality of files when deduplicating the plurality of files. The program instructions further direct the processing system to discover when the deduplication data has become unreferenced with respect to the plurality of files. Responsive to when the deduplication data has become unreferenced with respect to the plurality of files, the program instructions direct the processing system to initiate a thinning process with respect to a portion of a shared storage volume associated with the de-duplication data. The processing system is operatively coupled with the one or more computer-readable storage media and configured to execute the program instructions.
