Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and computer program product for managing a storage system. According to implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for managing a storage system. In the method, an object vector is created based on multiple objects stored in the storage system, here an object element in the object vector is associated with at least one object among the multiple objects. Multiple chunks included in the storage system are divided into multiple groups. For a group among the multiple groups, a chunk vector is created based on each chunk in the group, here a chunk element in the chunk vector is associated with a chunk in the group. A mapping matrix is created for managing the storage system based on the object vector and the chunk vector. Moreover, there is provided an apparatus and computer program product for managing a storage system. By means of the technical solution of the present disclosure, the number of storage units involved in processing and input/output time overheads may be reduced.
