Abstract: A method, a device, and a computer program product for creating a stripe in a storage system. In the method, a balance index of a storage device in multiple storage devices in the storage system is determined. Here, the balance index indicates a relationship between the state distribution of a set of stripes which have been allocated for use in the storage device and the state distribution of a set of stripes which have been allocated for use in the multiple storage devices. An influence factor for the balance index of the storage device in the multiple storage devices is determined according to attributes of the storage device in the multiple storage devices. A storage device for creating a stripe is selected from the multiple storage devices based on the determined balance index and the determined influence factor. One extent in the selected storage device is added to the stripe.
