Storage volumes are pre-provisioned in the operating system of a storage system before they are required to be assigned to an emulation on the storage system. Details of the previously created storage volumes are stored in a management database. If a storage volume is required, the process that needs the storage volume obtains details about a pre-provisioned storage volume from the management database, and instructs the storage system operating system to add the storage volume to a storage group for the process. By pre-provisioning storage volumes in the operating system, it is possible to greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to add storage volumes to processes. The number of storage volumes to be pre-created can be determined based on a regression between the previous storage volume usage and time, and a deterministically obtained value of a number of filesystems that will be created in an upcoming time interval.
