Abstract: Techniques manage extents in a storage system having storage devices supporting a redundant storage strategy. A reserved area of the storage system is generated based on a set of first-type reserved extents respectively located in the storage devices, and the set of first-type reserved extents supports a reconstruction operation for a failed storage device when the failed storage device appears in the storage devices. A data area is generated based on a set of data extents respectively located outside the reserved area in the storage devices, and the data area provides data storage for a user. Here, a reserved extent size of the set of first-type reserved extents is smaller than a data extent size of data extents in the data area of the set of data extents. The quantity of extents can be reduced, thereby reducing overhead of storage and computing resources involved by associated metadata.
