Summary:Techniques described and suggested include systems, methods, and processes for determining data-related attributes, such as size, for data and/or data containers (such as volumes and file systems) resident on distributed storage systems. For example, a shared records storage device may be utilized to gather information related to file systems stored on a distributed storage system having a plurality of storage servers. A data processor may be used to generate information records and meter data storage size for file systems resident on the distributed storage system, and such records may be provided to requestors, such as customers associated with the file systems.
