Abstract

Techniques perform data storage. Such techniques may involve writing metadata to a first cache of a first processor, the metadata indicating allocation of a storage resource to user data. Such techniques may further involve determining an address range of the metadata in the first cache. Such techniques may further involve copying only data stored in the address range in the first cache to a second cache of a second processor. Accordingly, the data transmission volume between two processors is reduced, which helps to improve the overall performance of a storage system.
