ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides disk coercion by generating coercion percentages or values that can be used to coerce various disks according to each disk's particular labeled size or capacity. In one embodiment, a disk size is received and a base coercion scaling factor is provided such that the received disk size is coerced according to the base coercion scaling factor if the labeled disk capacity is below a disk size threshold. The coercion scaling factor increases for labeled disk capacity above the disk threshold. If the labeled disk capacity is above the disk size threshold, then a coercion scaling factor is provided according to the rate of increase of coercion scaling factors and the labeled disk capacity.
