Abstract
The disclosure describes systems, devices, and methods for managing data storage environments. In an example implementation, a method of operating a controller in a data storage environment is provided. In performing the method, the controller identifies a change to a layout of drives in the data storage environment, and in response to identifying the change, takes a lock on instances of layout metadata stored on the drives. The controller then updates the instances of the layout metadata to reflect the change to the layout and releases the lock.
