Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a storage management system. During operation, the system receives information indicating sets of pending load of a plurality of storage devices from one or more storage nodes of a distributed storage system. The set of pending load of a respective storage device includes a set of load from host operations and a set of load from background operations on the storage device. The system can receive a request for a target resource associated with a disk operation from a client node of the distributed storage system. The system then selects, from the plurality of storage devices, a storage device with the smallest set of pending load based on the sets of pending load as the target resource and sends the target resource to the client node.
