Implementations of the present disclosure relate to method and device for managing a storage system. The method comprises in response to receiving a write request at a storage system, determining whether storage units allocated to a logic storage unit of the storage system are sufficient for data associated with the write request. The method also comprises in response to determining that the allocated storage units are insufficient, allocating a new storage unit to the logic storage unit. The method further comprises updating metadata associated with allocation of the storage units of the storage system, the metadata indicating a mapping between the logic storage unit and the storage units. The method also comprises encrypting the updated metadata. Other implementations of the present disclosure also involve corresponding method, device and computer-readable medium for decryption metadata and recovering the logic storage unit using the decrypted metadata.

Method and device for managing storage system

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for deduplication. Specifically, the method may comprise obtaining a property of a file stream, the property of a file stream including a file type or a magic number identifying a format of a protocol or a file. The method further includes in response to receiving an I/O request for a data block of the file stream, assigning a deduplication level to the I/O request based on the property of the file stream. Moreover, the method further includes deduplicating the data block of the file stream based on the deduplication level assigned to the I/O request. In addition, a corresponding device and computer program product are provided.

Method and device for deduplication

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for a file system log. In some embodiments, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method comprises: in response to receiving a write request for metadata associated with a first transaction, determining at least one zone associated with the first transaction from a plurality of zones of the metadata, the plurality of zones being formed by striping the metadata; requesting a resource slice for the at least one zone from a resource pool of a logging system; and recording to the resource slice a log that the first transaction modifies the at least one zone.

Method and device for file system log

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and device and computer readable medium for storage management. The method comprises determining a queuing condition of I/O requests of a cache of a first file system in a storage, the cache including at least one flash block. The method further includes determining a load condition of the cache based on the queuing condition of the I/O requests. Moreover, the method further includes in response to determining that the cache is in a busy status, allocating to the cache at least one additional flash block from a second file system in the storage, the second file system being different from the first file system.

Managing a datalog space of a data cache

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a method and device for managing caches. In particular, the method may include in response to receiving a request to write data to the cache, determining the amount of data to be written. The method may further include in response to the amount of the data exceeding a threshold amount, skipping writing data to the cache and writing the data to a lower level storage of the cache. Corresponding systems, apparatus and computer program products are also provided.
