Publication number: 20240248635Abstract: Techniques for storing metadata involve: storing first metadata associated with a system operation in a volatile memory of a storage system while the storage system is in a startup stage. The storage system does not perform read/write requests of a client during the startup stage. Such techniques further involve: suspending the system operation of the storage system during the startup stage in response to determining that the intermediate persistent storage device has failed. Such techniques further involve: storing the first metadata in the volatile memory into the persistent storage device.
