  • Patent number: 11507286
    Abstract: A storage management technique involves: determining a spare degree of physical storage space of a file system and access characteristics of the file system; determining, using a provision operation classification model and based on the spare degree and the access characteristics, a target storage provision operation to be performed for the file system from multiple storage provision operations, wherein the multiple storage provision operations include at least a storage space expansion operation and a storage space reclamation operation, and the provision operation classification model characterizes an association relationship between different spare degrees and different access characteristics of the file system and the multiple storage provision operations; and performing the determined target storage provision operation for the file system. Accordingly, a better balance is achieved between storage efficiency and I/O performance.

  • Patent number: 11314419
    Abstract: Techniques for managing disks involve: determining a current usage parameter associated with each of a plurality of disk sets, the current usage parameter indicating usage associated with a capability of each of the plurality of disk sets, and the capability comprising at least one of the following: a number of permitted accesses per time unit and a number of permitted writes per time unit; imbalance degree associated with the plurality of disk sets, the first imbalance degree indicating a difference in the current usage parameters of the plurality of disk sets; and causing data in at least one disk slice of a first disk set to be moved to a second disk set of the plurality of disk sets, so as to lower down the first imbalance degree. In this way, a better balance can be achieved among performances of respective disks after adjustment.

  • Patent number: 11294566
    Abstract: Techniques for managing disks involve determining, based on a parameter related to a capability of a plurality of disks, a reference capability parameter for each of the plurality of disks. In addition, the techniques involve determining a used capability parameter for each of the plurality of disks. Moreover, the techniques involve determining from the plurality of disks a first disk to be adjusted, a used capability parameter of the first disk exceeds a reference capability parameter of the first disk. The techniques further involve causing data of at least one disk slice in the first disk to be moved to a second disk of the plurality of disks, such that a difference between the used capability parameter of the first disk and reference capability parameter of the first disk is below a predetermined threshold. Accordingly, a balanced operation among respective storage disks can be achieved.
