Abstract
Techniques release and/or allocate resources. Such techniques involve obtaining information related to low-usage-rate-resources, the information indicating resources of a set of resources in a storage system having usage rates lower than a threshold. Such techniques further involve receiving a request for resource release, the request comprising the number of resources to be released. Such techniques further involve determining, based on the number of resources to be released, the number of low-usage-rate-resources to be released. Via such techniques, not only the time and computing overheads for checking each resource that are needed in resource release may be reduced, but also the amount of data needed to be moved in resource release may be reduced.
